Hm. If I have time, I'll take a look at that tomorrow.

Yes... Though you'd need to use findNextSibling or something like that in order to match the company URL to it's ticker-tape symbol.
Something like:
sibling = a.findNextSibling("a")
if sibling and "q?s" in sibling['href']:
is_public = True
...
return company_url, is_public The above code demonstrates how to return two values, rather than one. The code below shows you how to get the values from the function:
company_url, is_public = some_function()
I'll explain a little further tomorrow, I think, as I've been a little vague. Though you can always refer back to the tutorial to tell you more

so I need a way to make it so that when I return it I'm not returning the title tags but the actual text, otherwise when I embed it in HTML it's not going to display the company name.

You can use tag.string to return the text inside a tag.
