[GNC] Stock/tickers

[David Carlson]

James, you are still not replying to the list, so other users and
developers can provide the benefit of their experience.

Now we cannot tell if you tried to follow Geoff's suggestions and if so,
were you able to understand them.  It appears that you did not understand
all of it, but you did not ask for clarification of any of those steps, so
you will not get any clarification.
