Can I get prices for preferred stocks in the Quotes and Exchange Rates extension? Preferred stock symbols are always quirky but I've tried every format I know of and they all produce error messages ("Unable to get rate from to USD").

    Hi djxb2000-1

    Its possible they are not supported.
    Provide say three or four examples along with the ticker symbols and security names and I will test.

    Interestingly I have two that are not working (CLNY-J, USB-P) and two that are (EBGEF, NGHCN). The two not working have the tricky symbols that require different conventions depending upon where you. The other two seem to always be the same and AlphaVantage is returning them. CNLY-J and USB-P work with GoogleFinance.

    CLNY-J is COLONY CAP INC NEW 7.125% CUM PFD J
    USB-P is US BANCORP DEL DEP PERP PFD K

    Appreciate your help. These are the only ones I have but I could find more if you need them.
