Bloomberg country codes

Bloombergs makes use of a (relatively) standardised naming convention for all security ticker codes, which normally
include a 2 character country code as well.

The naming convention is as follows :

Share code + country code + security type

BHP LN EQUITY

For example : BHP LN EQUITY

(Bloomberg normally separates the the three identifiers with a blank between each.)
