ticker

n.

1. 1. A telegraphic instrument that receives news reports and prints them on paper tape.
   2. Any of various devices that receive and display similar information, such as stock market quotations, electronically.
2. Slang. A watch.
3. Slang. The heart.

System that produces a running report of trading activity on the stock exchanges, called the Ticker Tape. The name derives from machines that, in times past, printed information by punching holes in a paper tape, making an audible ticking sound as the tape was fed forth. Today's ticker tape is a computer screen and the term is used to refer both to the Consolidated Tape, which shows the Stock Symbol, latest price, and volume of trades on the exchanges, and to news ticker services. See also Quotation Board; Ticker Tape.

noun

The circulatory organ of the body: heart. See body/spirit.
