comp-match
A package that helps to compare company names, match company names to legal names and stock symbols and many more.
[WIP]
Introduction
Given a company name, how to find its underline/stock symbol? By hand this does seem like a very difficult task, but what if we need to match a lof of them? In such case we need to find a simple and effective way to compare company names, match to stock symbols.
Notes
- Information is gathered from web and inaccuracy is inevitable. In particularly Google Finance and Yahoo Finance exchange mapping relies on some third party website and therefore may not be 100% correct. I am still trying to verify those information.
- Tickers do change and currently there is not support for mapping over histry yet.
