Tro ticker cnbc
Now that you understand a bit about the ticker symbol, there's some more
explanation required to understand what appears on the "ticker tape"
such as those shown on CNN or CNBC.
Ticker tape says: Translation (but see below):
NIKE68 1/2 100 shares sold at 68 1/2
10sNIKE68 1/2 1000 shares sold at "
10.000sNIKE68 1/2 10000 shares sold at "
The extra zeroes for the big trades are to make them stand out. All
trades on CNN and CNBC are delayed by 15 minutes. CNBC once advertised
a "ticker guide pamphlet, free for the asking", back when they merged
with FNN. It also has explanations for the futures they show. You can
also see an explanation on the web at this URL:
