<![CDATA[MMM-JaST Ticker Question]]>@Jalibu I installed MMM-Jast yesterday and it in general is working but I have a question about the ticker stocks. Under the Stock object settings it says name and quantity are optional, which I also read as the ticker symbol is mandatory. Since all I wanted was the symbols, I just deleted name and quantity so each stock in list looked like the {symbol: "xyz"} . Rather than getting the symbol, I get JUST the name + associated data. Not the end of the world but some of the names are quite long so you only get two or three stocks showing. With just the ticker showing, a lot more stocks are visible at once which helps with getting a sense of the overall market.
I did deviate from that format for the DJIA & NASDAQ where I have name and symbol. Is there a way to get module to output just the symbol?

Most companies have something along the lines of Incorporated or Corporation hung of backside of their name, and or the corporate name is not what a company is referred to in conversation. For example BA, or as its letterhead says, The Boeing Company. Whether it is financial news or straight news, no one says “The Boeing Company”, people just refer to BA as Boeing.
So I added the name back but edited each name back to what each company is called in conversation.

{symbol: "xyz", name: "xyz"}
