Stock ticker symbols, as you likely know, are the shorthand representations for publicly traded equities. For stocks traded on the Big Board, the American Stock Exchange, and NASDAQ, these are letters and combinations of letters, usually ranging from one to four letters. It’s much the same scheme on the Canadian and European exchanges. The Hong Kong, Taipei, and Tokyo exchanges, however, are no fun at all; they resort to using numbers for symbolizing stocks.
Trying to keep up with all these lettered ticker symbols often leaves me feeling like a SPAZ. I could use METH to be more alert and energized, but that’s not a healthy option. SOYO, I don’t have to go thirsty, partaking of BUD and COKE. YUM! Did I EAT yet? Thanks, I already ATE at JOES – had some BRAN, BUNZ, CAKE, and OATS.
Gazing over the stock listings, I see there is a CAT, a CATT, and CATS, but no DOG, unless you’re playing in exchange-traded funds on the Amex. You know the Amex – they brought us the SPDRs from Mars, not Ziggy Stardust. Don’t give this DRUG or PILL to your PETS! WOOF!
LEND me your ears, ASAP! Go ahead and FLEX your ARM, but try not to HIT anyone, unless you want to BOX. Give it your ALL, BRO. Let’s go on the ATAC and break things into BITS! Someone call a COP! You know me, AL. My name is ED. What’s up, DOC? Anything for a BUCK. I haven’t got a CENT, but I can get some CASH. Stay CALM. Take AIM, I say. TIC TOC, time’s a-wastin’. QUIK! The train is hurtling down the track, KLICkity KLAC! We could go to CHINA. WAT?! Y, oh Y?
I slept like ALOG on AMAT, not a COT. Fill out this FORM, please. Yes, DEAR. Oh, I’m no good at MATH. I am what I AM, and SAM I am. I need some AIR! Come on, feel the NOIZ. Get LOUD! Come and PLAY a TUNE. That would BFUN, lots of FUN. Pardon this product PLUG. BOO! I’m on a ROLL! Get REAL. Don’t get a ‘TOOD on me. Take an AXE to this exercise!
