As far as I can see there is nothing complex to setup.  I have attach a
screenshot of my setup for Citigroup.

I just gave a try for  Single:Yahoo and I got the same message.

One thing though...  When I created the first security for TSX, I add to
create the type TSX as it was not available.  So for the securities with
which I have problem, their type already existed.  Could this be hiding
something?  Maybe I will have to read a bit of code here.
