#1466 — FinancialData[], German index "DAX", "FinancialData::notent:"

Hola:

1. I extracted the ticker symbols for "F:"

frazero = FinancialData["F:*", "Lookup"];
len = Length[frazero]
Sort[Table[{FinancialData[frazero[[n]],
         "Name"], frazero[[n]]}, {n, 1, len}]]

and I got 10'619 data elements, most like {"10TACLE STUDIOS", "F:T1C"} .

2. I failed to find the ticker symbol for the German stock index "DAX". Could somebody please tell me?

3. Of the 10'619 data elements 745, however, evaluated to

"FinancialData::notent: "\!\(\"F:0CP\"\) is not a known entity, class, or tag for \!\(\"FinancialData\"\). Use \!\(\"FinancialData\"\)[] for a list of entities."

Maybe, these data should be curated?

Saludos,

I've found Google's the best way to find ticker names, e.g.

http://www.google.com/search?q=dax

FinancialData["^GDAXI"]
