I note from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbrs.com\">DBRS<\/a> website that <em>they<\/em> have noted the name change from BNN Split Corp. to BAM Split Corp. Huh, thinks I, it&#8217;a about time they did that. The ticker change from BNN to BAM happened long ago (2005-10-5, to be precise, according to the HIMIPref\u2122 database, which must be right &#8211; or, at least, in agreement with the Toronto Stock Exchange &#8211; because if I don&#8217;t have the right tickers in the system then the prices won&#8217;t load).<\/p>\n<p>So I look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnnsplit.com\/corporate.htm\">Corporate Web Site<\/a> and find that this name change is dated November 6, according to the company. I grumble to myself a little, because backdating a month of changes is rather a bother, but to ensure that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prefshares.com\/glossary.html#longName\">longNames<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prefshares.com\/glossary.html#shortName\">shortNames<\/a> on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prefshares.com\/glossary.html#instrumentDataRecord\">instrumentDataRecords<\/a> are correct, I check the TSX.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsx.com\/HttpController?GetPage=QuotesLookupPage&#038;DetailedView=DetailedPrices&#038;Market=T&#038;Language=en&#038;QuoteSymbol_1=bna.pr.a\">According to the TSX<\/a> the name is still BNN Split Corp.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to assume that the Street gets its long names and short names from the TSX for contract and statement purposes and that assumption is enough for me to heave a sigh of relief and not process any changes to the HIMIPref\u2122 database. If it&#8217;s good enough for the TSX, it&#8217;s good enough for me, that&#8217;s my motto!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep an eye on the situation and process the name change when required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A wise old man once said to me &#8230; well, I must not tell a lie.
