I'm looking for the New York Stock Exchange ticker symbols for Gold (the one that will show the current value of about US$650.00 per oz), Silver, Platinum, and Oil (all three need the same requirement as Gold). I want to add their ticker symbols to MY YAHOO financial portfolio so I can easily track them. I'm not looking for stocks, futures, options, or the like. Just the straight info on these precious commodities, please. I searched Yahoo Finance, Wikipedia, and Google and couldn't find what I'm looking for at those sites. Please, no referrals or links - just the ticker symbols. Thanks in advance.

metals such as Gold, Silver, Platinum, and items such as oil, sugar, orange juice, pork bellies, wheat, corn, and others are commodities. These are traded on the Chicago Board of Exchange (CBOE) and are listed under their applicable taxonomy. The companies that handle these items may sell share in the company and that will be listed as stocks on the relevant but separate market. Use the Internet and enter CBOE for the exchange where you can get current prices.

Go to your Yahoo Finance home page. In the left margin you'll see Finance Home, My Portfolio, Market Data, etc. You can hover your mouse over Market Data and click on Commodities. There you'll find a chart with the latest prices for Metals, Grains, etc. There are indeed symbols for commodities - actually the futures contract price. And, typically, the shortest or closest contract price is what you'll see on tv or a web site. Yahoo has made it easy with this chart as you'd otherwise have to know the contract date and whether it's traded on the New York Merc, Chicago Merc, Chicago Board of Trade, CBoE, or the New York Board of Trade. If you look at Crude Oil under the Energy tab, you'll see Futures Chain way out to the right under Related Info. Click this link to find the ticker symbols for futures contracts several years out.

You will have to wait between 3 and 10 days to get into the system in most cases. When I signed up it took 8 days. I wished it was faster, but if you can wait a week or two to start earn life changing money than you will have what it takes to make it in this business.

Ticker symbols are for specific stocks or funds or indices, not for commodities.
