Top Stock Symbol Searches on Search Engines

This is a list of the Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks sorted in order of stock symbol searches according to Overture. Obviously, some of the search numbers will be meaningless from a financial standpoint, such as for Caterpillar (CAT). It is also uncertain whether someone who types in the symbol for International Business Machines (IBM) is looking for info on the company or the stock. Whereas, a search for MSFT is most likely a search for the Microsoft (MSFT) stock and INTC is a search for Intel (INTC) stock.
