I just wanted to update everyone here about the foreign company stock symbol issue we've been discussing this week. Last night I searched the NASD website fairly thoroughly and found nothing about dropping the "F" from foreign company stock symbols, or lessening the requirements for dropping the "F" from foreign company stock symbols. I'll continue to search for information about this over the weekend. I also checked the symbols of a half-dozen foreign companies I follow and four of them no longer have a fifth-letter "F" in their symbols. So something has definitely changed recently. Apparently it isn't a blanket dropping of the fifth-letter "F" because stocks like GICOF still have it. - Jeff
