Type of symbol

[guest2]

hi

I m creating my own database of NYSE/NYSEArca/AMEX/NASDAQ symbols info like company name, vol, day high, day low etc.

I will use this database for my purpose. Although i have problem with assigning types of symbols.

Example: i want to find all CEFs symbols trading @ NYSE/ARCA/AMEX/NASDAQ exchanges.

I ve googled and found:
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/CEF.csv
http://www.cefconnect.com/Screener/FundScreener.aspx
I compared them.

WSJ has more CEF type tickers than cefconnect but is probably lying, eg:
American Capital,ACAS [..]

ACAS is not CEF symbol.

Next example; ETF symbols:
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/USETFs.csv
http://news.morningstar.com/etf/Lists/ETFReturns.html?topNum=All

Morningstar has more ETF symbols.

The question is: where can i find fresh reliable source of ticker types(ADR, Common Stock, ETF, CEF, Structured Product, Warrants, Units ...)?

Data can be in html, csv, sql format - nvm. I will use my perl crawler script to fetch and parse it

thx
david
