I just traded one preferred stock for another of the same company. I have been unable to find the secret symbol to allow an update of the price data. As you know. preferreds have different symbols depending on who is reporting the information.
The stock is ELLINGTON FINANCIAL SERIES B 6.25% CUMUL Its symbol is EFC/PRC at Schwab - other companies use the following - EFCPRB, EFCpB, EFC.PR.B, EFC/PB, EFC PRB, EFC_pB, EFC-B.
I've tried them all except the ones with /. That is not an allowed file name.
I own EFC/PRE and recently sold EFC/PRC. They update with EFCPE or EFCPC.
Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?
