What do you mean by the term ‘ticker symbol’ and how do I locate one for a particular company?

Question

Please, could someone explain to me the purpose of a ticker symbol? What does it serve? How can I search for the ticker symbol of a particular business?

Answer 1

Every publicly traded stock of a company is assigned with a unique special symbol which is known as a ticker symbol. It is similar to the company’s stock nickname which makes it easy to search for a stock. To locate a company’s ticker, type the company name followed by ‘stocks’ on Google. If the company is a public company, its ticker will show.
