CWILMANNS  I'm sorry that the widget's "symbol" input is misleading. You're not able to input the stock symbol as used at american stock exchanges. Instead you have to type in an ISIN or a WKN. This widget gets it's data from a german stock data provider. So you have to find out one of the former mentioned values. For example AAPL has the ISIN US0378331005 or the WKN 865985. You can try to find out these identifiers used at european stock exchanges by querying a page like e.g. http://de.finance.yahoo.com/ and type in the name of the company you are searching for into the field at the left top named "WKN, ISIN, Ticker". You can easily get the WKN or ISIN displayed at the resulting page. After you type in the WKN or ISIN into the widget's "symbol" field, it will find the stock or fund and you can choose the appropriate stock exchange from the pulldown select list displayed to the right.

Hope this helps.
