I was just looking through some NASDAQ stock names and came up with a few that were kind of funny. Since I'm new to the stock market, it helped me understood who some forecasters are referring to, so thought I'd share the info, in case anyone else is in the same boat as me (oh, bad joke .... live on an island and use the term "in the same boat" :sick: )
My favorite is Microsoft - it's MSFT, but is often called "Mister Softee" (now that's funny, IMHO)
Here's a couple of others:
Pebbles - for PE Biosystems (PEB)
Slob - for Schlumberger (SLB)
I may post some more if I come across them. I know are helping me as I get into more discussions with seasoned investors. Hope they can help someone else out too.
