Maine newspaper cuts stock listings

The Bangor Daily News joins the long list of daily newspapers that has cut its stock listings, according to a short item in Monday’s paper.

The item stated, “In the business section on weekdays, below an easy-to-scan highlight of the previous dayâ€™s market activity, weâ€™ve adopted a consolidated compilation of regional and most-active stocks, and have included the familiar commodities, currency and interest rates listings. Although we no longer will publish comprehensive stock listings, they are available in their entirety, with additional market information, in a new expanded business sectionÂ atÂ bangordailynews.com.

“Our weekend business section will continue to feature the popular Wall Street Journal Sunday, and will include a full page of the most active stocks and a weekly report on the most popular mutual funds. The BDN invites readers to recommend additional stock listings that could be carried in the daily or weekend paper, space permitting. Weâ€™ll do our best to accommodate your suggestions. Please send these suggestions or other comments to comments@bangordailynews.net or call 990-8157.”
