Ticker Symbol
A three or four letter abbreviation used to identify a security whether on the floor, a TV screen, or a newspaper page. Ticker symbols are part of the lore of Wall Street. They were originally developed in the 1800s by telegraph operators to save bandwidth. One-letter symbols were therefore assigned to the most active stocks. Railroads were the dominant issues at the time, so they retain a majority of the one-letter designations.
Ticker symbols today are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Each marketplace -- the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange, and others -- allocates symbols for companies within its purview, working closely to avoid duplication. A symbol used for one company cannot be used for any other, even in a different marketplace.

T.G.W.,
Please show me where it states that the *stock* symbol for Internet Gaming Company is IGC? It isn't, obviously. Why do you assume that Internet Gaming Company is even a public company? The fact that there are three companies that has the initials "IGC" (again, why did you start taking about stock symbols???) is not unusual or exciting.

Your assumptions are nothing more than an attempt to use scare tactics to make people sell a great stock. Everybody realizes that you are a self admitted liar (do I need to copy your post?).

Have a good day.

WOW this is starting to sound like another GLOW game show ,
will the REAL IGC please stand up is it a. Interactive Gaming
Corp (IGC) or b. Internet Gaming Corp (IGC) or c. Interstate
General Co (IGC). I am betting that there is only one company with
the proper SEC stock symbol and the winner is:

Interstate General Company L.P.
