Sorry about this question, now i know what the symbols are, but still in
dilemma what is its relation with
According to the defination i found it was as below
"A series of letters, often an abbreviation, that represents a
stock<http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Stock>,
option <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Option>, mutual
fund <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Mutual+Fund>, or
other security <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Security>that
trades <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Trades> on an
exchange <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Exchange>. A
ticker symbol allows securities to be
listed<http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Listed>on an
exchange's overhead board conveniently and provides a useful reference
for traders <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Traders> and
investors <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Investors>.
NASDAQ <http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/NASDAQ> ticker
symbols have four letters, while those on the
NYSE<http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/NYSE>have no
more than three. Mutual fund ticker symbols sometimes include
numbers. Examples of ticker symbols include F, for Ford, and MSFT, for
Microsoft."
