There are companies that keep track of those things but usually they are a) brokers b) too expensive (esignal is one example)\n\nRival

Most common websites, Yahoo Finance or most brokerage firms for instance, will give you company info.  Usually the charting feature will step you into the information you need visually, such as candle charts which show a daily trading high, low, open, and close.  Those are the easy places to start.  BTW, the New York Stock Exchange is usually abbreviated NYSE.  I don't know the BSE unless it is the old Boston Stock Exchange, a regional trading place that I didn't know was still in operation.

Well, your stock is not worthless, its worth $3 per share right now (and thats up from just $2 per share a few days ago), you can simply open an account and sell it if you want.\n\nNo telling what the stock will do from here.  They filled a Chapter 11 bankruptcy (reorganization), not Chapter 7 (liquidation), meaning they are trying to cut costs, sell whatever they can, and emerge from the bankruptcy.  When (if) they emerge they will try to give the stockholders as much value/ownbership of the new company as they can, but no telling what they will be able to give you (if anything).  \n\nThey may say we had to give 90% ownership to other people to get enough money to reopen, or they may be able to get money to reopen with less (or more) of the company given away, again no way to tell (or they may never get the money to reopen and they will eventually end up liquidating the company and then you'll almost certainly get nothing)\n\nSo, you can just sell what you have for 3$ per share (as of today), or you may want to say what the heck lets roll the dice and see what happens, and hold on to the stock (realizing down the road you could get alot more or alot less than that 3$ per share, again very hard to say).\n\nGood luck with it.\n\nBy the way, here is the link to your stocks current sell price.\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DCNAQ.PK

There are numerous ways to do cost basis.  The way that you are referrring to is the FIFO method, which is fine.  You might pay a bit more if the stock went up since your cost basis for the original shares is lower, but this would be offset by the long-term treatment.\n\nAs long as you keep track of which shares went where with the dates and the rest of the documentation, you're free to use that method.

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.

Well, I put "historical prices" into a search engine and got plenty.  There's one at the link below?\n\nAre you interested in particular countries or time periods?  Or particular commodities?

If you want to research the history of that company, you should start with contacting the Texas Secretary of State, whose office would be responsible for tracking state corporations.  It probably will be archival material, but it should be possible to track the company down to find out whether it was ever acquired by a company still in business.

If this is a corporation stock, it will indicate which state that it is in. In most cases, you can contact your state's Secretary of State's office to learn if that company is still in business, and what has happened to that company over the years.   \n\nIt might take a bit of work to find any value.  Even if it went BUST a long time ago, the story will go well as a family heirloom.   Write the story and keep it with the stock certificates.

normally I would just go to finance.yahoo.com and pull up historical price quotes. since Sears is now Sears Holding Co, it would seem like you can't do that. you could email Sears Investor relations from the corporate website, or you could go to the Library and check out the film on a copy of The Wall Street Journal or just about any newspaper that listed stock prices.

The simplest way to do it is to go to finance.yahoo.com, enter the ticker for the stock you want, click key statistics, and it will be listed on the right hand side, directly under the advertisement (first item listed under stock price history).\n\nThe more complicated way is to list the average monthly price for the stock with the most recent month on top in an excel spread sheet. List the average monthly price for the SP 500 in the same fashion. Calculate the average return for the previous month for both the stock and the SP 500 by dividing one month by the previous and subtracting one from the result and expressing the answer in percentage form. After you have done that for both the stock you are interested in and the market, tell excel to calculate the covariance between the two sets of data (=cov(individual stock dataset, SP 500 dataset). Then calculate the variance for just the SP 500, (=var(sp 500 dataset). Then divide the covariance by the variance.\n\nBeta tells you how much an individual stocks price (i.e. its return) fluctuates in comparison to a market index, such as the SP 500. A beta higher than "1" and the stock is more risky than the market (i.e. it is more likely to fluctuate out of tandem with the market). Hope this helps

I use yahoo finance.  Go to http://finance.yahoo.com/ In the box that says "Look up a quote" enter the abbreviation for the stock you are looking for.  Then on the left side of the page, under the heading "More on (stock you chose)" Click historical prices.  That should allow you to look up prices for any day.
