Did stock symbols make you chuckle?

• Milk The Cow : Sure has .
  Eg. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ (I always like eat the apple red, green apple sour = just like the stock price colour indicate <but I think the Chinese don't get the joke as they used red=Price up, green=price down>)
  $Procter & Gamble (PG.US)$ is also weird name... why gamble ? Is the products that dangerous that u need gamble ur life to use it ?
  $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ = Tesla Coil / Tower = Electricity to play music but not Tesla car .
  In the past I saw "Use Tesla to play music title" in the net & thought... "Oh , new Tesla informations related to music, let's see let's see, Tesla's new products + but... damn it's just a click bait trap... that's a Tesla coil/tower. It's not the kind of Tesla I'm expecting ."
  Yar, so some stock symbol is quite funny in its own way .

• 103047546 : Summary: why $(GOOG) $and $(GOOGL) $appear when searching Google, and why $(BRK.A) $and $(BRK.B) $appear when searching Berkshire? Today, let's take you to understand why one company has two stock symbols.
  
  
  
  In the United States, a company can issue different common shares, each with different interests. American exchanges allow the same listed company to issue different types of shares, each of which represents different "rights and interests". In short, it is the same share with different rights.
  
  Alphabet Inc-CL C
  
  
  
  Alphabet Inc-CL C has three types of common shares, which were split on April 2, 2014. the reasons for the split at that time were as follows:
  
  It is Alphabet Inc-CL C's share price that is frighteningly high. At that time, Alphabet Inc-CL C's price was $1228.8 per share, compared with more than $500 per share after the split.
  The split helps to consolidate the founder's control over the company, and when issuing additional shares, the non-voting Class C shares can be issued, so that the founder's shares will not be diluted.
  Split stock introduction:
  
  GOOGLE CLASS A COMMOM STOCK (A for short), code name: $(GOOGL) $, A has the right to vote. Each A share has the right to vote 1 share.
  GOOGLE CLASS C COMMOM STOCK (C for short), code: $(GOOG) $, C does not have the right to vote
  GOOGLE CLASS B COMMOM STOCK (abbreviated to B), which is exclusive to the two founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, each B has a voting right of 10 shares, and the conversion right B can be converted into other shares, while An and C specify that conversion to other classes of shares is prohibited.
  As for dividends, after division, A, B and C shares are calculated on the basis of each share and enjoy the same dividend distribution rights, that is, in dividend distribution, the owners of the three levels have the same rights. If you pursue shareholder value and voting rights, you can choose GOOGL.
  
  Berkshire Hathaway
  
  
  
  Berkshire has two types of common stock, not through a split. Berkshire, formerly a traditional textile manufacturing company, was later acquired by Warren Buffett in 1956 because of mismanagement, while the other was issued in 1996. The reasons for the two stocks:
  
  Berkshire's share price is frighteningly high, more than $210000 a share. Normally, when the share price is higher than a certain price, it will be split to keep the stock liquid. Buffett adheres to the principle of "value investment, if you want to invest, you should consider 10 years or more; you don't want speculators to come to BRK to make quick money."
  The purpose of issuing B shares is to increase liquidity and meet the demand for tax avoidance of donated shares by shareholders. At the same time, in order to curb the trust funds investing in A-shares (fund companies' low-price sales and marketing techniques will attract a large number of irrational investors) to create a stock price bubble.
  Stock introduction
  Berkshire $(BRK.A) $Berkshire A shares are the most primitive Berkshire shares, A shares are never split, A shares can be converted into B shares, but B shares cannot be converted into A shares
  When Berkshire $(BRK.B) $Berkshire B shares were issued in 1996, they were priced at 1Compact 30 of A. One Berkshire A share can be converted into 30 B shares, which were later split to about 11500 in 2010. B shares can be split and transferred.
  Neither Berkshire A nor Berkshire B pays dividends, and the company can use the money in three places. Expand existing businesses, acquire new companies, and share buybacks. (Buffett insists that Berkshire will buy back shares if it is less than 1.2 times book value. ) if you want to hold and invest in the long term, you can buy Berkshire A. In addition, if you want to meet Buffett at Buffett's shareholders' meeting, just buy An and B shares. No matter how many shares you own, you can participate.
  
  
  
  In addition to the above two examples, Royal Dutch Shell has two types of shares listed on the London Stock Exchange. These stocks have the same economic rights, but their cash dividends are affected by different tax restrictions.
  
  Shell A $(RDS.A) $shares are subject to tax restrictions and are subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (15 per cent). Cash dividends are paid in euros.
  The tax restrictions on B shares $(RDS.B) $are regulated by the UK and are not subject to any withholding tax. B-share cash dividend is paid in sterling.
  
  
  In short, when investing in stocks, when you find two codes in a stock, be sure to check why they are split and the difference between them, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and losses.
