Well, kinda.
The first thing yer probably thinking is,
"Why is he at Ameritrade?".
I dunno.......
Anyways, I entered the symbol, "SPX"
for the S&P 500, and it says the symbol is invalid.
So I put the dollar sign in front of it, "$SPX".
Same stuff.
I entered the symbols for other indices, and they work just fine.
I enter "SPX" at other websites, like CBS Marketwatch....
no problem.
So I called Ameritrade this morning, and the guy was stumped,
totally baffled. He is going to get back to me.
I entered a symbol for one of the options, "SZPPQ",
no problem, it just won't recognize "SPX" or "$SPX".
