Eric: "AFTER THE FACT".................
Some years ago - over 35 in fact - when I had just gotten my
NYSE ticket and was assigned to a branch office (in this case,
Pasadena, CA)...I learned something that fits in this context:
I needed a quote on an o-t-c stock and had the girl on the PBX
call trading in L.A. After a bit, it came back thusly: XYZ Corp.
20 - 22 WO...I quickly asked one of the other brokers what WO meant.
Says he, WO means "work out" (no current firm bid or asked)...BUT
he continued, it REALLY MEANS - "WE'RE OUT - HOW 'BOUT YOU?"
Best,
Don
