Answer 1

Go to Yahoo finance (http://finance.yahoo.com)

Type in your symbol of the stock you’re looking for

Then on the left, click on historical quotes.

Now, you can then type in the date range you want and choose daily/weekly/etc and download the data to excel or wherever.


Or if you prefer, you can go to this link instead. Just replace GOOG with the stock symbol that you’re looking for.

If you don't know the symbol, there's a symbol lookup there too you can use.

Have fun!


*The adjusted price is the stock price adjusted for splits. So if a stock was at 100, and split 2 for 1 to 50, the adjusted price would show you the price as if the stock had always been at 50 so you can determine the real change in value of that stock over time.

Answer 2

I would first start by checking the company's investor relations website. If you can't find the company's wesite or any record of the company, the stock is most likely no longer traded. Even if the company whose stock you own is no longer traded, it may have been acquired by another company, in which case you may still be entitled to swap your certificates in the acquired company for shares in the acquiring company. If you can not find out if this happened through a google search, try calling your broker, or if you don't have a broker, call a brokerage firm such as Schwab and explain the situtaion. Most brokerage firms maintain a database of past corporate actions and they can tell fairly quickly if your certificates are worth anything.

Answer 3

Yahoo finance, simply go there and do a symbol or name search for the stock

Answer 4

check the daily newspaper, they list all of them
