: : Hi Mark,
: : Magic product and the jse fix works well with shares, however mutual funds are a bit of a problem as they download (after the 100 fix) as 1000 times the value.
: : (Before the fix they downloaded as 100000 times)
: : ie after the 100 fix the share price is correct but the mutual fund price is
: : R1,000.00 instead of R1.00
: : On the Johannesburg Stock Exchange all shares codes are 3 letters long while the Mutual Funds are four letters long; maybe that will help you devise a solution. Thanks : Hi Bob,
: Could you give me a sample mutual fund symbol to experiment with?

: Hi Mark,
Sure. For example a share say Control Instr Grp is CNL while a mutual fund say Coronation Financial Growth Fund is CNFG. All the shares are 3 letters long while the Mutual Funds are 4 Letters long. There is a ticker lookup on the JSE site; it is accessed when you try to look up a price and do not know the code so you just press search with an empty code box and an enormous list appears as a lookup.
Many thanks,
BOB
