Title: Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF Needs Ticker Post by: knightcoin on May 27, 2014, 11:12:02 PM what should the ticker be?
The famous twins might be tempted to pick a vanity ticker like WINK, VOSS, or even TWIN. However, TWIN is taken and WINK exists on the London stock exchange (for Winkworth). And does anyone really want to see VOSS? Another avenue of possibility open to the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF is tapping into the digital currency theme with something like BIT, COIN, CRYP, or MATH. However, all of those tickers are already being used. article at: http://moneymorning.com/2014/05/27/now-the-winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-needs-a-clever-ticker/ Title: Re: Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF Needs Ticker Post by: Benjig on May 27, 2014, 11:19:58 PM The ticket should be VOSS , or some word related to bitcoin, anyway besides of that, who else think that the bitcoin price will skyrocket after the fund gets aproved by the nasdaq comission?

I think something BTC related should be in the ticker though. If it's something about those losers, then I'll just be annoyed by the whole thing. They didn't really do anything special but make a readily available currency a little more readily available to investors... They didn't have anything to do with the currency itself.

They are massively promoting bitcoin doing that, also they will buy 1 bitcoin for every 4 shares purchased on that fund. Title: Re: Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF Needs Ticker Post by: knightcoin on May 27, 2014, 11:50:41 PM I am reading a book about trading ETF's the author talks about
Quote ETF offerings on the market now include currency, commodity, fixed-income, inversely correlated “short ETFs,” leveraged ETFs, and even ETFs that are both inversely correlated and leveraged. There are also ETNs (exchange-traded notes), which are structured as financial instruments, similar to bonds but possessing credit risk. I wondering what would be an "inversely correlated" ETF to bitcoin ... since regulators have been struggled to define what the hack bitcoin is ... ::) ???

Bitcoin needs credibility. What kind of impression do we want to give Wall Street? Do we want them to compare Bitcoin to Dogecoin?

Has there been any updates on when/whether or not the ETF is approved? Or when that takes place if it's going to?

Don't the majority of stocks (and ETFs) trade on the NASDAQ? Even if a stock primarily trades on an other exchange it will often (always?) trade on several other exchanges. I think the only exception to this rule are stocks that are not listed on the NYSE as I think the NYSE only trades stocks that are listed there, although ARCA (owned by the NYSE) trades stocks that are listed elsewhere.
