I am trying to add a preferred share series to my account, but I
cannot seem to get the ticker set properly to be able to sdownload the
quotes for the share.

The stock is the Royal Bank Preferred I series. TSX lists the ticker
as RY.PR.I, I have tried may permeations of this symbol to get it to
download to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how to format the
symbol to work? Thanks in advance.

Yahoo Finance shows the shares as RY-PR.TO Give that a try.

No, that does not work. Any other ideas? Is there anyone actually
tracking this stock that knows the correctly formatted symbol for
Quicken? Thanks.

I'm afraid not - other than trying RY-PR without the .TO attached.
But, I'm sure you've already tried that. Maybe Quicken doesn't retrieve
prices from the Toronto exchange?

Shannon,

Have you tried RY-I?
