A Reuters instrument code, or RIC, is a ticker-like code used by Thomson Reuters to identify financial instruments and indices. The codes are used for looking up information on various Thomson Reuters financial information networks (like Bridge and RMDS) and appear to have developed from the Quotron service they purchased in the 1980s.

Famous quotes containing the words instrument and/or code:
“Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
