Stock Symbols
News services, financial sites, blogs are various other websites all refer to stocks on a regular basis. Some mentions are part of a news story while others give advice and review the stock or the company.
The Problem
Formulate an unambiguous, machine parseable, representation that can be used when stocks are mentioned. This should work with hReview as it's just marking up the recommended example a bit more to make it easier for tools. (Also see # 9 in hReview FAQ)
