: : : 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?
: : I couldn't find a ticker lookup on this site, and I'm not familar with
: : JSE fund symbols... : : Thanks,

: : : 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,

Hi Bob,
When I look up CNFG on JSE with my browser, I see the last price of 1161530.
CNL shows a last price of 98. This is how Fund Manager imports them as well.
Do you know why the fund prices are being reported so high? Sounds like the
server may be reporting the data incorrectly, or in some units that we're not
aware of?
Thanks,
Mark
