DESCRIPTION
This module obtains information about Canadian Mutual Fund
prices from www.fundlibrary.com. The information source
"canadamutual" can be used if the source of prices is
irrelevant, and "fundlibrary" if you specifically want to
use www.fundlibrary.com.
FUNDLIB-CODE
In Canada a mutual fund does not have a unique global sym
bol identifier.
This module uses an id that represents the mutual fund on
an id used by www.fundlibrary.com. There is no easy way
of fetching the id except to jump onto the fundlibrary
website, look up the fund and view the url for clues to
its id number.
LABELS RETURNED
Information available from fundlibrary may include the
following labels:
exchange method link source name currency yield last nav
price. The link label will be a url location for a one
page snapshot that fundlibrary provides on the fund.
