Best Answer

It varies and depends on where the q is placed. If it is at the end of the symbol then it most likely means that the company is in bankruptcy. Ex. GMGMQ is the new symbol for General Motors and will remain so until it emerges from bankruptcy. The Q allows investors to see that bankruptcy is an issue when investing in such securities. With a stock like GM most investors already know about the bankruptcy but for smaller more obscure companies an investor may not realize it and the ticker symbol gives them notice.
