    unit_cost: 152.25
  - symbol: "ARKW"

Notes

• Real-time quotes - Quotes are pulled from Yahoo finance which may provide delayed stock quotes depending on the exchange. The major US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ) have real-time quotes however other exchanges may not. Consult the help article on exchange delays to determine which exchanges you can expect delays for or use the --extra-info-exchange flag to include timeliness of data alongside quotes in ticker.
