What's in a symbol?
Starting Monday, Sprint Nextel took over the stock symbol "S" from Sears, which now is a private company. The newly merged telecom now joins a select group of venerable - and some not so venerable - corporations identified on trading tickers by a single letter.
Among the symbols and their owners: A, Agilent Technologies; C, Citigroup; F, Ford; G, Gillette; K, Kellogg; Q, Qwest; T, AT&T; and X, U.S. Steel.
