"BestInvest is a UK site looking at that URL, base on the ""co.uk"" ending. Yahoo! Finance that you use is a US-based site unless you add something else to the URL. UK & Ireland Yahoo! Finance is different from where you were as there is something to be said for where are you looking. If I was looking for a quarter dollar there are Canadian and American coins that meet this so there is something to be said for a higher level of categorization being done. ""EUN.L"" would likely denote the ""London"" exchange as tickers are exchange-specific you do realize, right?" "At the bottom of Yahoo!

That list looks like a global macro short list. Shorting XOM, JNJ are systemic risk plays.  The guys that stand out for specific risk: INTC AMZN ABT LMT BMY  AMGN  CMG AVB, I stopped reading after that.  fundamentally I would long INTC as them and AMD are the market for CPU's. Maybe people are betting against pc's...   AMZN has a retardedly high facebook like P/E.  I don't know enough about most of the risk. You can pull up the VIX index on Google Finance by entering INDEXCBOE:VIX "Where can I download all stock symbols of all companies ""currently listed"" and ""delisted"" as of today? That's incredibly similar . You can also do it with a Bloomberg terminal but there's no need to pay to do this because he data changes so slowly." http://www.euroinvestor.com/exchanges/nasdaq/macromedia-inc/41408/history will work as DumbCoder states, but didn't contain LEHMQ (Lehman Brother's holding company). You can use Yahoo for companies that have declared bankruptcy, such as Lehman Brothers: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=LEHMQ&a=08&b=01&c=2008&d=08&e=30&f=2008&g=d but you have to know the symbol of the holding company. There's an interesting paper, Does Investor Attention Affect Stock Prices? (Sandhya et al), where researchers look at related stock tickers.  When a large cap, better-known stock jumps, smaller firms with similar symbols also rise.   Pretty nuts -- I interviewed the author of the paper [here](http://www.tradestreaming.com/?p=3745). There's also a transcript. "Google Finance certainly has data for Tokyo Stock Exchange (called TYO on Google) listings.  You could create a ""portfolio"" consisting of the stocks you care about and then visit it once per day (or write a script to do so)." The dividend is for a quarter of the year, three months. 80 cents is 3.9% of $20.51. Presumably the Div/yield changes as the stock price changes. On Yahoo, they specify that the yield is based on a particular stated date. So it's only the exact number if the stock trades at the price on that date. The suffix represents the stock exchange the stock is traded on. N represents the New York Stock Exchange and O represents the Nasdaq. Sometimes a stock can be listed on more than one exchange so the suffix will give you an indication of which exchange the stock is on. For example the Australian company BHP Billiton Ltd is listed on multiple exchanges so is given a different suffix for the different exchanges (especially when the code is the same for each exchange). Below are a few examples of BHP: USB is the ticker for US Bancorp. The numbers to me look like their prediction of the return for the day, I could be wrong but I think that's what it is. Yahoo Finance has this now, the ticker is CL=F. I'm a bot, *bleep*, *bloop*.

Nowadays the usage of tickers is more of a ""legacy"" tradition rather than a current necessity. As such they're no longer limited to 3 characters. And the characters don't have to be related to the actual name. For example a company named Alphabet is trading on NASDAQ under the ticker ""GOOGL"". It has 5 characters, not 3, and (almost) none of them appear in the name of the company (used to, but not anymore)." NYSE started allowing four letter tickers around 2009.  NASDAQ allows 4-5 letter tickers.  I guess they'll keep increasing when / if needed.  Companies are allowed to change tickers, although there are costs.  Tickers in the US are assigned through a single entity.  Companies that are new need to take something that's open. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124296050986346159 I see that you're in Australia, but, since there aren't really that many options to deal with the problem that you mentioned, I'd guess that you'll ultimately do the same.  Not sure about how tickers are assigned there though.
