[GNC] Set up a security, what now?

[Kalpesh Patel]

Hmmmm.... I thought the namespace was just a free format text that wasn't tied to anything for commodity pricing other than a nice way to tidy up commodities into groups. 

I must have misunderstood its purpose ... if it is indeed tied up like that then the source of pricing dictates the name set in the namespace?
