Google spreadsheets and DOW Chemical - Rasec - 10-08-2015

Hi peeps,

Quick question, is there anyone who uses Google Docs to track their portfolio and has DOW Chemical as one of the holdings?

Google docs just refuses to pull data for DOW as it confuses it with ... you got it, the Jones.

This is what it looks like:

Any guesses for a workaround?

I use Google sheets for tracking and tried out DOW. Yup...looks like theres a problem. You can get around it by using the symbol "NYSEBig GrinOW" instead

I don't use those tools, so can't provide any insight. But you have my sympathy -- that sounds annoying!

I have the same problem but only on the mobile app. Shows on the puter.
Not sure bout google, few other things they do bug me.
Fortunately dow is a smaller position and only in 1 acct.
Best of luck.

Actually, I forgot, my dow shows on google as dow.wd, I dont get it but I dont spend too much time looking at it.
