The ticker symbol for light, sweet, crude oil is CL on the New York Mercantile Exchange, according to the CME Group. CL is only a prefix to be followed by codes for specific oil purchases, such as "G16," indicating February 2016.

Crude oil is traded as commodity futures, explains Investopedia. Each purchase constitutes a contract culminating in the delivery of a product, thousands of barrels of oil, at a predetermined time. Investors wishing to trade crude with no intention of taking physical ownership may do so through a number of stock-like financial products that reward investors who own shares in collective holdings, notes CommodityHQ
