Dan,
I may be mistaken about ACM. I had some ACM stock a few years back and I
followed it for a while. The other day I decided to take a look for it on
Quote. com. It came up as CMTA but there are only places on the display for
4 letters/digits. When I took another look, the other letter popped up
showing ACMTA. However, you make my point as I have no idea what WSJ
archives is. If you had already referenced it by name I would. I realize
that everyone is busy. The question is; is the extra time worth good
communication?
Regards,
Brent
