Hi Frank

Most symbols are four letters, but some have five.

The symbols for securities that trade on an exchange -- New York Stock Exchange, or American Stock Exchange, for example -- may have one, two or three letters in their symbols.

Stocks that trade using the NASDAQ Quotation System -- National Market System, Small Cap, and Over the Counter stocks -- usually have four-letter symbols. These issues may have a fifth letter, the meaning of which may be found at this site... smallcapinvestor.com.

Frank,

These are the one's I'm aware of:

fifth letter

A = series A, class A
B = " B " B
F = foreign
P = preferred
U = unit (share and a warrant)
Z = some combination of the above

Not sure if you got your answer yet Frank? I got a write-up on that however I would have to search for it. Yes there are different letters that mean different things such as going through a name change, etc.. If still interested let me know and I will try to find.
