Old Bloomberg Screen Print

[Hinger]

Hi,

Can you help me understand this old market/trade recap by Bloomberg?

What is column "E"? And the letters P, M, N and T?

I have another similar screen print with the letters B and X. Do you know what they mean?

Finally, I want to ask you why some prices are in bold and with an arrow next to them.

Column E=Exchange.

P = Pacific Stock Exchange, which became Arca
M = Midwest Stock Exchange, which became Chicago
N = NYSE
T = National Assoc of Securities of Dealers aka NASD

The date for the printout is for Jun 21, 1996.

B = Boston Stock Exchange
X = Philadelphia Stock Exchange
(Also, and in some cases much later time time, A = American Stock Exchange, C = Cincinatti, O = Instinet, W = CBOE, D = NASD ADF/TRF, Q = NASDAQ, I = ISE, C = NSX, Z = BATS)

Bold represents a a trade - the others are just a bid/ask update from that exchange.

The arrow represents an uptick or downtick from the prior trade (see the uptick rule for short selling to see why this is important).

Just a quick lookup of the unadjusted pricing on CHK (well, the old Chesapeake that went banrkrupt, returning exactly $0 for shareholders... ouch - final ticker was CHKAQ).

That is pretty awesome mate. Keep that note and laminate it.
