Hi Philip,

Welcome to the Google Docs Help Forum.

As you mentioned, you're facing issues with some Canadian stocks. I'd recommend following the below steps to see if it helps:
Close the tab and reopen (Ctrl-Shift-T).
Select the cells with formulas, copy and paste back as "values only".
In addition to this, you can try using the IMPORTXML function that can pull the price off the google finance webpage. To learn more, please refer to our useful Help Center Article on�GOOGLEFINANCE.

If the issue still persists, please consider sharing a sample sheet with us using the shareable link.

Hope this helps.

Hi Philip,

Thanks for writing back.

I'd recommend going through the stocks that doesn't work for you and use the ticker symbol located in parentheses after the stock name.�

For example:

STANDARD EXPLORATION LTD.(CVE:SDE):�https://www.google.com/finance?q=SDE.v&ei=RPj7V-mnH5K1iAKwmLvwBA
The formula would be =googlefinance("CVE:SDE")

You currently have it as SDE.v, which appears to be the issue.

Once this is corrected, if the data does not appear or appears incorrectly on�finance.google.com, you�can leave feedback with Google Finance by clicking "Report a problem" at the bottom of�finance.google.com.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Shasha

10 Times When Less Is More - Altucher Confidential

10 Times When Less Is More - Altucher Confidential: The MAXIMUM you need to learn to be good at 99% of things in life:

Math: basic probability and statistics that you can do in your head. For instance, know that 1/3 of 10,000 is 3,333 (roughly).

English: Learn how to read. Because later you might like reading and reading will make you a better writer.

Note that whenever you read a book, you might remember 1-2% of it. If you read lots of books that will add up. But no pressure to remember more.

History: A two page outline of the history of the planet. Because all the books are biased.

And then later they get rewritten.

Much later in life you might want to, for fun, explore those biases and read books about it.

Three good history books I think are worth reading:

“Sapiens”�by Yuval Noah Harari
“The Evolution of Everything” by Matt Ridley
“Wonderland” by Steve Johnson
Science: Nothing. You don’t even really need to know that the Earth is flat. If you want to be a scientist then learn more science.

Sometimes science is fun. I like reading science fiction.

Art: I don’t know. I never learned art. I’m only starting to appreciate it and read about it now. I’m 48.

In the past few weeks I went to The Broad museum in LA and The Whitney in NYC. Fascinating!

So now I am reading books to learn more. But I’ve never learned about art before because I had no interest.

If you try to teach people with no interest, they won’t learn.

To this day, at every conference I speak at, nobody can tell me the birthdate of Charlemagne within 500 years.

Go ahead, guess right now!

Petroleum Industry | The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture

Petroleum Industry | The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture: Large pockets of high-pressure natural gas and huge oil production characterized Oklahoma City. One well, the Number One McBeth, had a daily flow of 101,002 barrels of oil

Petroleum Industry | The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture

Petroleum Industry | The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture: Also in 1906 the final Osage roll of 2,229 tribal members was completed. Tribal land was allotted, but mineral rights were held in common. Each member was entitled to one Osage headright, or one equal share of oil and natural gas royalty, and the money poured in. On one afternoon in 1924 Walters sold $10,888,000 worth of leases, with a single 160-acre lease bringing $1,990,000. Such huge wealth occasioned an "Osage Reign of Terror," a series of crimes in which Osage headright holders were swindled and sometimes murdered for their share of royalty money

Never Yet Melted

Never Yet Melted: From Lisa Schiffren on Facebook:

A Tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco . While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the old shop owner and asked, “How much for the bronze rat ?”

“Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat and $100 for the story,” said the wise old Chinaman.

The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. “I’ll just take the rat, you can keep the story”.

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began walking faster.

A couple blocks later he looked behind him and saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.

Sweating now, the tourist began to trot toward San Francisco Bay.

Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far as he could into the Bay.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the bronze rat and were all drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop in Chinatown.

“Ahhh,” said the owner, “You come back for story?”

“No sir,” said the man, “I came back to see if you have a bronze Democrat.

AMERICAN DIGEST: Comment on Within Living Memory: Norming the Perverted: "In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

As Al Gore Told Donald Trump . . . - HappyAcres

As Al Gore Told Donald Trump . . . - HappyAcres: Green handouts have become a political end in themselves.

Over its lifecycle, an electric car will generate just 23% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than a gasoline-powered car. If every car on earth were electric, this translates into a mere 1.8% decline in total emissions.

Yet even a small electric car will cost its owner $20,816 more to own and operate than a comparable gas-powered car, and its total “human toxicity”—mainly due to heavy metals and graphite—will be three to five times greater.

Electotial College

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Our presidential election system has, in effect, 51 elections--
46 states, four Commonwealths, and one District of Columbia.
Each one of those "little" elections has electors assigned to it equal to the number of representatives it has in both houses of Congress; each state (in general) grants it electors to the winning candidate within its boundaries. Since we currently have 538 members in that Congress, a winning candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win. The idea of the now much-maligned electoral college is to serve as part of the intricate system of checks-and-balances that this really, really smart Brits instituted to avoid tyrannies by either a minority OR by a majority. Everybody gets a voice, regardless of whether they are big or little. Dear progs, please look at the UN that you love so much: every country there gets the same vote regardless of size: Luxembourg gets the same vote as China. Should we change that?

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: China today is extraordinarily homogenous.
It sustains that by remaining almost entirely closed to new entrants except by birth. Unless someone is the child of a Chinese national, no matter how long they live there, how much money they make or tax they pay, it is virtually impossible to become a citizen. Someone who marries a Chinese person can theoretically gain citizenship; in practice few do. As a result, the most populous nation on Earth has only 1,448 naturalised Chinese in total, according to the 2010 census.Even Japan, better known for hostility to immigration, naturalises around 10,000 new citizens each year; in America the figure is some 700,000 The upper Han | The Economist

mustard for leg cramps - Google Search

mustard for leg cramps - Google Search: Football players and other athletes are sometimes told by their coaches to swallow a few spoons of mustard to fight off leg cramps. One reason mustard may be effective for this purpose is because the condiment contains acetic acid (in vinegar), which prompts the body to produce more acetylcholine

Shin and Foot Cramping Over Night - Sciatica, Leg Pain, Radiculopathy

Shin and Foot Cramping Over Night - Sciatica, Leg Pain, Radiculopathy: I have suffered on and off with critically low potassium and have had to take prescription supplements to correct this. You might want to ask your GP to run a basic blood panel just to be sure.

Aside from bananas, which most people think of as a good source of potassium, orange juice is also a good source. If your market carries them (and you like them), avacados are an excellent source of potassium too.

It's a pretty simple thing to check your blood potassium, and it may point to the cause of your muscle cramps. I'd urge you to talk to your GP about that before assuming that your cramps are due to your psoriatic arthitis.
