How to use your stock symbol - OTC Markets

HOW TO USE YOUR STOCK SYMBOL

Wherever you use your company name, whether in press releases, investor presentations, corporate communications, or on third party research reports, always include your U.S. market and ticker symbol so investors can easily identify and trade your stock, receive news alerts and find your company in historical financial databases.

Major press release distribution services, such as PR Newswire, code ticker symbols in press releases to ensure that they are widely picked up by major financial news sites and portals, including Yahoo! Finance and MSN Money, so that news reaches the widest possible investor audience. Omitting your ticker symbol from press releases makes it harder for news portals to recognize and pick up your press releases.

Below are some guidelines to follow to help your investors research and trade your security.
