Description: Yahoo ticker downloader
        =======================
        
        Produces .csv, .json, .yaml, and .xls files (All files contain same data in a
        different format) for stocks, ETF, futures, indexes, mutual funds, currency,
        warrants and bonds. The ticker symbol, company name and exchange are saved.
        
        It gets its data from `https://finance.yahoo.com/lookup/`_. Please note: it
        is not possible to get all the symbols due to limitations set by Yahoo.
        About 75%-90% of all symbols are gathered using this script depending on type.
