I would recommend that you track the stock of companies you might be interested in.  That would make it more real for you.  you could track Yahoo, Google, Apple, etc.  There are no "best" companies to track.  \n\nHowever, you can track stocks with a portfolio in Yahoo finance, quote.yahoo.com.  If you need some diverse comapnies to cover several companies I will give you four:\nCameco (CJC) which is an uranium mining company; GE (diversified operations); Univision (UVN) a spanish language media/broadcasting company; and Cisco Systems (CSCO) a technology company.  you can get the symbols for companies you might have an interest in on yahoo finance as well, by doing a company lookup.  Good luck and have fun!

I think you can just go to YahooFinance and find prices for the history of a stock.  Good luck.

Right now, the S&P 500 is up 151.47 or 12.1% through Thu.\n\nYou can track it a number of places.  In addition to most newspapers, CNBC often talks about where it is YTD as well.\n\nAs for websites, I use prophet.net mostly.  But here are links to Yahoo where you can keep up with it daily with daily quotes and historical quotes.\n\nCurrent\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5Espx\n\nHistorical\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EGSPC\n\nHope that helps!

Try Yahoo Finance.  You can get a decent spread for the public companies going back a few years.  You can also look at the quarterly/annual reports and grab the numbers from there.  You might be able to find them under all the SEC filing or on the company's web site.

yahoo finance and digitallook both provide free annual reports, they are all PLC's but there will be small AIM companies (market cap 6mill maybe)

STX has too many insider-sales! NWS might be a good buy with their Myspace.com addition. NEM seems on the surface too expensive.

Here are a few links for you:\nWashington Square Coin Exchange has a very informative article,and you might want to contact them if you have additional questions.\nhttp://www.wscoin.com/Info/CollectingStocks.htm\n\nThe American Bank Note Co. prints many of the stocks and bonds in existence today.\nhttp://www.abncompany.com/\n\nAnd just in case you are thinking of printing a few of your own:\nhttp://www.ustreas.gov/usss/counterfeit.shtml

Very few Internet sites will have historical prices like this. The only way to find these prices would be to contact the NYSE directly and hope they have it archived, or contact Bloomberg. I know that Bloomberg have a historical price record of every single listed company in the world (among other things), but it isn't cheap. You will have to use cost-benefit analysis.\n\nAlternatively, if you are working in a chartered accounting firm, go up to your Corporate Finance department, and ask them, as they will have a Bloomberg terminal you can use.

I would say just check the Dow 30.  The are established companies that would fall under "blue chip".

Sometimes the NYSE.  Sometimes the NASDAQ.\n\nYou can check their volume here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5ETV.N\n\nAnd here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5ETV.O
