It is friday the 13'th, do you know where your Symbolics stock is?
On friday's I sometimes check the price of the stock, for old times sake.
But in the Wall Street Journal today there is no NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET ISSUES
listing for it.
Were there no trades in the stock on the 12'th, or is something else
happening?
On friday the 6'th it was listed in the usual place, between SYMC and SYMX.
365 day Hi, Low, Name, Symbol, Volume, Close
60 17-3/4 Symantec SYMC 1681 58-1/2
5-5/8 9/16 Symbolic SYMB 1 1-1/4
26-1/4 17 SymixSys SYMX 410 18
Of course, that is a pretty low dollar volume. Less than $200.
Which couldn't get you a round trip ticket on the Trump shuttle.

It's also missing from the NYT. Perhaps it is simply that no shares
were traded.

Dow Jones News/Retrieval's historical quotes database says "NOT TRADED" for
the 12th.

On the 11th only 200 shares were sold, and on the 13th only 700 shares were
sold. It's quite likely that there were only one or two transactions each
of those days. Therefore, it would hardly be surprising that it would go a
day without any trades at all.
