re. <<Don't brokers get tested on these things?>> I've got a friend who is a retail broker with a regional firm. Took the courses, studied hard, and then he passed all his exams. That was a couple of years ago. He hung out his shingle. He's doing nicely, thank you, selling mutual funds and shares in Procter & Gamble, General Electric, and the like. At a picnic we talked stocks, and I told him that I short them. He said had never heard of shorting. He asked me if it was like options. So much for what brokers learn studying for their exam. Do you think he's ever run across a stock with a D,E or Q at the end of the symbol? Nah. It doesn't happen to Procter and Gamble.
