Globalized Stock Ticker Symbols

Stock symbols are now globalized. Go to reuters.com and enter Home Depot and click Go, or click on this link. A most amazing list of ticker symbols comes up for Home Depot. It includes all the different ticker symbols for Home Depot that are used on various US and foreign exchanges, where ever it trades.

By entering the symbol HD.N you get a quote from the New York Stock Exchange. HD.B takes you to the Boston stock exchange for a quote. HD. MW takes you to Chicago. You might prefer to go to Germany. Try HD.BE for Berlin or HD.D for Dusseldorf. If you prefer someplace closer home, try our neighbor to the south---HD.MX.

One could take a trip around the word visiting the stock exchanges where Home Depot trades. Okay, so some people have a lifetime goal of climbing the 5 tallest mountains in the world. Then there's me. I'll do the stock exchanges; I don't like to be cold or out of breath.

Here is a list of foreign stock exchanges and their ticker symbol suffixes from Yahoo.
