Financial News Affecting Team Portfolios

Some teams may find a "symbol not found" message when attempting to update their portfolio at the TSE portfolio manager.  This could mean the stock has been de-listed by the TSE due to current financial difficulties or the company has restructured business operations (eg. merger) so that its TSE symbol may have changed.  Groups can investigate further by searching for related information at the Tellenium site.
