Whats with the .NV, .SV, .MV, .RV suffixes that appear after some of the ticker symbols?
These suffixes were the manifestations of an attempt by the TSX Group to bring some transparency to the share voting structure of the public companies behind the ticker symbols. The response to these new suffixes was a thumbs down from all parties – the fund managers, institutions, and retail investors all disliked having to deal with these extra letters appended to the ticker symbol. Cosequently, the TSX Group recently announced that they will be removing these suffixes: http://www.tsx.com/en/mediaNews/newsreleases/12-21-2005_TSX-…
