TICKER SYMBOL - COMPANY NAME LISTING CURRENT AS OF 23 MAY 1993 The accompanying list of ticker symbols, corresponding company names, and markets traded in covers about 99.9% of all the primary common stock of companies listed in the major markets; NY, AMEX, NASDAQ, and NASDAQ Small Cap. I suspect that there are about 100 or so missing, but it's mighty painful to pick them up. Also included are several (about 20) indices carried by Basic Quotes, such as the SP 500, DJ 15, 20 and 30, COMP, and a few others. There are a few funds listed on NY included that technically are not companies. Where a company has multiple classes of common listed, usually only one is included here. Preferred, warrents and options are not included. This list is accurate, and has been validated against CIS Basic Quotes, as of the date listed above. Note that in some cases there is a mis-match between a ticker that CIS LOOKUP yields and a corresponding quote that Basic Quotes yield. CIS Feedback has been contacted about these, but after a year or so I've given up. Usually they acknowledge my report and that's the last I hear from them. Considering the whole market, names and tickers change at about an average of 30 per week. Some tickers change, some company names change, some companies are delisted (merged, bankrupt, or don't otherwise meet the listing criteria), and of course the new or added issues. So you can see, any list such as this can rather swiftly get out-of-date, especially in the NASDAQ Small Cap listings, where most of the changes seem to occur. The listing is an ASCII text file, with each line 50 characters long, terminated by a standard CRLF. The ticker is in column 1, the company name begins in column 10, and the market indicator (surrounded by parens) is in column 49. I will attempt to occasionally update this list in the Compuserve Investor's Forum Library; I keep it current on a weekly basis on my own home machine. If this one is more than a month or so out of date by the time you recieve it, drop me a message and I'll upload a current one. INVFORUM and Email are checked generally every day, although I occasionally travel and am offline without portable brains. If no response, prompt me again in a week or so. Berk Greene [76011,3352]
