Funny Stock Symbols

Some stock symbols are downright funny!

By Dustin Woodard, About.com

I searched high and low for the most unusual stock symbols. There's no doubt these companies were shocked when they received their symbol from the exchange. I encourage you to click through to find out what the company really does (some of them you will recognize). If there is no link provided, the company either failed in the past couple years or had their ticker symbol changed (can you blame them?).

If you find any funny symbols not listed below, contact me so I can add them to the list. Click on the symbol to read more about the company.
