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 [http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview-faq hReview FAQ])

The results of each day's session ripple rapidly throughout the world economy. No sector
is untouched by energy prices: oil producers and refiners who invest billions to explore,
airlines nervous about jet-fuel prices, auto companies who must adjust models rapidly to
survive, and retailers like Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) keen to know how deeply its shoppers will
be dunned at the gas pump.
