Hi,  
would it be possible to include basic info to each stock ticker? For example long name and short name of the company?  
I’ve been trying to find some list on bloomberg, but no success. I guess they don’t offer it for free.  
I know that one can try yahoo etc., but yahoo does not have them all and it would be quite time consuming to gather all of them.

If anybody has workaround I would appreciate it as well.

Thank you

I used the googlefinance function in google sheets to get this. There were only 9 companies on the list that didn’t return results. There are probably some cases where the match is wrong, but they’re likely few enough not to matter for my use.
