Expand Universe to include foreign equities (Europe, Asia, Australia)?
DFV currently covers ~10K US-listed equities (SEC EDGAR filers). JerBouma/FinanceDatabase (already ingested for ETFs + identifiers) would let us add ~148K foreign equities across LSE, ASX, Euronext, Tokyo, HKEX, Shenzhen, etc.
**Adds:** Global coverage — search/screen tickers anywhere they list.
**Costs:**
- ~€37/mo extra hosting (3.7GB box → 32GB box to hold 15× scale)
- Slower data refreshes — Yahoo writer cycle stretches from hours to ~half a day
- ~94% of foreign tickers have no SEC fundamentals (EDGAR is US-only). Those pages would render with empty Fundamentals / Cashflow / Insider sections — just profile + price.
- Search complexity: symbol collisions like BHP (US ADR) vs BHP.AX (Australia), dual-listings like Shell on three exchanges. Watchlists, sentiment votes, alerts would fragment across listings unless we add FIGI/ISIN-based dedup.
**Alternative:** Skip global equities, keep US-only. The ETF tab (36K ETFs, just shipped) is the no-cost coverage win and lands regardless.
**Vote:**
- ▲ want global equities
- ▼ don't want — stick with US + ETFs
