No, newspaper stock symbols and ticker symbols are generally not the same. Stock symbols are unique identifiers assigned to publicly traded companies, while ticker symbols are shortened codes used to represent stocks during trading on an exchange. Ticker symbols are typically alphabetic characters that are easily recognizable and associated with a specific company's stock.

When did Tomas Edison invented universal stock ticker?
Edison did not invent the stock ticker. The credit for that invention goes to Edward Callahan who devised the first stock ticker in 1867 for the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company in New York. Edison developed his Universal Stock Printer in 1871 for Gold and Stock, which soon became a subsidiary of Western Union. Edison's improved stock ticker included his key contributions to printing telegraphy. His most significant improvement was a mechanism that enabled all of the tickers on a line to be synchronized so that they printed the same information. Because the printers frequently fell behind the transmitter by one or more letters, exchange companies had to send employees to the offices where printers were running out of "unison" to reset them. This led to the development of automatic mechanical means to solve the problem.

What is the ticker symbol for the Dow Jones Industrial Average?
The ticker symbol for the Dow Jones industrial average = $DJX; at least this is for practical purposes because this is the symbol to input if you want to know the average at any point in time. Can you buy something with this symbol as you would buy a stock or a stock fund? The answer to this is no. If you want to buy the average, so to speak, then look for an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that carries the 30 stocks of the DOW. Likely some ETF's may closely replicate the DOW, but may not be exactly the same. This question is for future research and one example is an iShare with ticker = IYJ. There are many ETF's out there. Check 'em out.
