Of course, Bars.GetFundamentalNames does return these items that are not on my "Fundamentals" dropdown...

all analyst ratings
analyst downgrade
analyst rating
analyst upgrade

so I guess it all evens out.

I can't guarantee that either list is exhaustive. Seriously, an effort to coordinate these is needed.

Since it's not documented in the QuickRef, GetFundamentalNames is not a supported method. Use it at your own risk.

EUGENE - Please provide an exhaustive list of unsupported methods. Then I won't waste time on those bug-infested methods. I would rather waste my time on supported bug-infested methods!

Sure Len. Whatever you won't find in the QuickRef and in the API documentation, is considered an "unsupported" method.

However, I just slowly realized that GetFundamentalNames is a very different animal - after having not found it in Object Browser etc. It's not Fidelity's, it's ours. The misleading "Bars." in the topic title [renamed] and the syntactic sugar of extension method is what has confused me. And like two years ago (see post #6 here), I've again forgot that it was yours truly who added it to Community Components. :)

I think that one topic would be enough for this little method:

GetFundamentalNames returns partial list

I've just replied there.
