Ticker Symbol - Definition
Below, you'll find a definition of this investing term...

Definition: The symbol for a company's stock.

TeenAnalyst Advice: The symbol can represent either an abbreviation for a company's name ("GE" is General Electric) or it can be something totally different.  For example, Southwest Airlines' symbol is "LUV."
