Stock Instruments

Stock instruments are identified by the field types and values within the field.

If the Product field of the Instrument block is present and has the value 5 (EQUITY), then the instrument is a stock.

If Product is not present but Security Type is present and has the value CS or PS (Common Stock or Preferred Stock), then the instrument is a stock.

If both Product and Security Type are not present and the CFICode field is present and the first character of the field is E (for Equity) and the second letter is one of S, P, R, C, F, or V, then the instrument is a stock.

Otherwise, this is not a stock.
