What companies are Publicly traded?

Companies listed on some sort of stock exchange are the ones that are publicly traded. For a stock to be publicly traded, it means that a person who is not inside the company can buy a share in some market, be it an over-the-counter market or an electronic exchange. Alternatively, a privately traded company has its stock held only by a limited number of investors and company insiders. For instance, Apple is a publicly traded company because anyone can buy a share. On the other hand, a company like Trader Joe's is a private company and its shares are held only by private owners and cannot be bought on an exchange.

No. You won't find the stock on a public exchange. Although the Packers are a publicly held organization, the company has issued stock only for limited times throughout its history, most recently in 1997. Any stock sale has to be approved by existing shareholders and the NFL. As of 2009, there has been no discussion of offering another stock sale.


What is the stock symbol for ocean therapy solutions?

There is no stock symbol for this company since it is completely private and not traded in stock exchanges. Only publicly traded companies have stock symbols. When a private company wants to raise more capital, they can opt to issue stocks (aside from loaning money from banks - which they would have to pay interest) and become publicly traded. They have to work with investment brokers (e.g., Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, etc.) and decide on how many stocks to issue and at what price. Then they will do an initial public offering (IPO) to begin a public trading on their stocks.

OneWest Bank Group LLC stock symbol?

It's privately held by a "consortium of private investors." That means there's no public stock, and presumably no stock symbol. This privacy is presumably why it gets away with being one of only four major mortgage companies who have not signed on to the "Making Home Affordable" Plan, as of 6/30/09.
