What could "FMGC" (or "FMCG") ticker symbol be? Bought this NYSE stock in 1987 contest but can't find company!

NYSE stocks are typically three letters long.  They are only longer when you get into preferred stocks, difference classes of stocks, or other obscure types of securities.\n\neg. Newscorp different class\nNWS, NWSA\n\neg. Freddie Mac\nFRE, FREpB (aka FRE+B aka FREPRB depending upon your quote vendor), FREpH (FRE+H, FREPH).\n\nRarely do stocks have that classes of common shares that go to "G" (I couldn't find any currently listed) so I think the first symbol FMGC is the most likely and that FMG is likely to be the main stock code applicable.\n\nThen I did some searching for FMG and couldn't find it used in recently history. \n\nThere is a comapny listed on the NYSE (FMC Corp, NYSE:FMC) that had a spectacular run in 1987.\n\nLet's say you bought at the start of Spring (20 March) 1987 and sold at the end of Spring 1987 (20 June).  The buy price was $31.25 and sale price $38.875 representing a 24% gain in 3 months.\n\nIf the final date of the competition was later (eg. end of summer) - 21 Sep 1987, the price was $50.25 representing a 61% increase.  The stock made its highest close on 2nd Oct 1987 at $58.625 but like all stocks was hit by the 1987 crash (back down to $31 three weeks later).\n\nAccording to my reords, FCX wasn't listed back in 1987 (they listed in 1988), so I don't think this is the right one.\n\nHope that helps you in your quest....

I get about 500 spam e-mails a day telling me to buy USMY, whatever that is -- I'm pretty sure that this spam is part of some illegal and not too subtle pump-and-dump scam.\n\nMy advice is stay away from USMY.\n\nI would advise buying GM. One of the most sound and under valued stocks around.

Newspapers have cut back on their stock listings to save paper and printing costs, but if it is a major company, their stock price will be listed in almost any newspaper, and all of the major newspapers.\n\nEvery quote you see will be listed for one share of stock.\n\nEvery financial paper will have it -- Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, Barron's -- all available at your public library and online.\n\nAlmost every major search engine has a "Ticker Symbol" window to do stock searches in. \n\nYou probably know a dozen people that have that information at their fingertips, and can easily dtermine the ticker symbol of the stock you're interested in.\n\nYou can build your own portfolio in Yahoo Finance, or look up single stock quotes. You can use the Search Box, but it's easier to find their ticker window where it says "Get Quotes." \n\nEnter the name of the company in the Get Quote window and it will tell you "Invalid Ticker Symbol." But then it will give you the window you're looking for, where you can enter the Name of the company, almost anywhere in the world. Just enter the Name and click on "Look Up."\n\nClick on this link:\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=intel

go to yahoo finance.  If you know the symbol for the company key it into the space where it says "get quotes".  If you do not know the symbol, click on the words "symbol lookup". Unfortunately, you have to know how to spell the name of the company.  After you find the symbol, key it in and there will be displayed the price of one share of stock.  For example, Microsoft, MSFT, last trade $21.92;  Bank America, BAC, $48.79

There's a company called buyins.net that keeps a list of stocks that look like someone shorted it without connecting it with real borrowers.  There's more information at their site.

I'd try to tackle this a couple of ways.  First I would go to yahoo finace and see if they are a listed company.  Assuming you've found a listed company I would type in their ticker.  See what kind of news they have and then see if they have institutional holdings!!!  You can do that on yahoo finace or you can go to nasdaq.com and type in the ticker.  there you can click on institional holdings and they will actaully tell you the top 5 or so funds that hold that equity.  If they are funds you've heard of I'd feel pretty good about the company.  some examples GGB, PCU, PRB just to name a few in latin america.\n\nGood luck

Singapore has long ago switched to using non script shares. If you are still holding scripts, that may be scripts which you might have bought in the late 70s. You need to report to the SGX about your lost IF the company you invested in is STILL listed.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.mastersoequity.com\n\n\n\n\n.

go to the finance home page (the link is on the main yahoo page) and then type in the symbol of the stock you are interested in.  It will then give you a list of several options, one of which is the message board.
