The Stock Quotes plugin usually won’t pick up terms that are ambiguous. For example, “CEO” could be the ticker symbol for CNOOC, the Chinese offshore oil drilling company, or it could be the acronym for Chief Executive Officer. In these cases, take advantage of the explicit linking syntax – Put your ticker or keyword in between double square brackets [[TICKER OR KEYWORD]]. For example, put [[CEO]] where you’d like to have a quote in your post, and the Stock Quotes Plugin will pick it up.
