Hola:
1. I extracted the ticker symbols for "F:"
frazero = FinancialData["F:*", "Lookup"];
len = Length[frazero]
Sort[Table[{FinancialData[frazero[[n]],
         "Name"], frazero[[n]]}, {n, 1, len}]]
and I got 10'619 data elements, most like {"10TACLE STUDIOS", "F:T1C"} .
2. I failed to find the ticker symbol for the German stock index "DAX". Could somebody please tell me?
3. Of the 10'619 data elements 745, however, evaluated to
"FinancialData::notent: "\!\(\"F:0CP\"\) is not a known entity, class, or tag for \!\(\"FinancialData\"\). Use \!\(\"FinancialData\"\)[] for a list of entities."
Maybe, these data should be curated?
Saludos,
