[edit] Name

Surely "Consols" are just an abbreviation ? Shouldn't this be under the full name - Consolidated Stock ? (with redirects)

And isn't "Consols" plural ?

Given that's its an abbreviation for Consolidated Annuities, and has for nearly two centuries been considered a word in its own right (c.f. Webster, Chambers, and Bouvier's Law Dictionary), it probably shouldn't be under 'Consolidated Stock'. Mauls 09:51, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
