That's because Tweeter's ticker was "TWTRQ" and Twitter had registered for "TWTR."
- concert-gilled 7y agoThat is NASDAQ not NYSE.
- trazire 7y agoThe maximum, as provided by general consensus are 4 letters. The fifth letter, when applicable, signifies company status. "Q" for bankruptcy, "A" or "B" for class names, "E" for delinquent, "J" and "K" for voting and non-voting respectively, and so on. See https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/06/nasdaqfifthletter.asp https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/06/nasdaqfifthlette... (doesn't just apply to NASDAQ)
- neomantra 7y agoThe limit for a ticker symbol on NYSE is six characters... from Section 2.1 of the NYSE Symbology spec [1]: The NYSE defines the symbol into two parts: a root and a suffix. The root constitutes the first part of the symbol and it can be up to six characters (although traditionally, most symbols representing companies only use a three-character root). That said... in the early 00's, our is_nyse(ticker) function looked like: { return ticker.size() == 3; } [1] https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/data/NYSE_Symbology_Spec_v1.0c.pdf https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/data/NYSE_Symbology_Spe...

- edm0nd 7y agoan interesting article from the other day, Confused investors keep buying FORD, thinking it's Ford - https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/12/investing/ticker-symbol-confusion/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/12/investing/ticker-symbol-confu... Maybe they are trying to stop these types of scenarios by using NET.
