Bruce:
Here is a list of 5th symbols and their meanings:
Stock Symbol
A unique four- or five-letter symbol assigned to a Nasdaq security. If a fifth letter
appears, it identifies the issue as other than a single issue of common stock or
capital stock. A list of fifth-letter identifiers and a description of what each
represents follows:
A - Class A
B - Class B
C - Issuer qualifications exceptions*
D - New
E - Delinquent in required filings with the SEC
F - Foreign
G - First convertible bond
H - Second convertible bond, same company
I - Third convertible bond, same company
J - Voting
K - Nonvoting
L - Miscellaneous situations, such as depositary receipts, stubs, additional
warrants, and units
M - Fourth preferred, same company
N - Third preferred, same company
O - Second preferred, same company

Q - Bankruptcy Proceedings

* The letter "C" as a fifth character in a security symbol, indicates that the issuer
has been granted a continuance in Nasdaq under and exception to the
qualification standards for a limited period.
The QQ ending must be a mistake...
