W.R. Berkley to Change Ticker Symbol

Here’s a heads-up to BER shareholders. In two weeks, W.R. Berkley Corp. will change its ticker symbol from “WRB” from “BER.” This is the second ticker symbol change for a stock on our Buy List. In 2006, Harley-Davidson switched from HDI to HOG.
I like HOG a lot better. Personally, I’m a big fan of the fun tickers. Here’s a list of my favorites:
1. (BUD) Anheuser-Busch
2. (WOOF) VCA Antech (veterinary services)
3. (BOOM) Dynamic Materials
4. (FIZ) National Beverage
5. (LVB) Steinway Musical Instruments (in honor of Ludwig Van Beethoven)
6. (ZEUS) Olympic Steel
7. (CHUX) O’Charley’s Inc.
8. (TAP) Molson Coors Brewing
9. (BID) Sotheby’s Holdings
10. (LENS) Concord Camera
