Question

Where on-line can I find up-to-date coverage on how much earnings per share for big, well-known investment companies such as Google and Wal-Mart?

Answer 1

Try going to Yahoo Finance and looking them up. Or buy a copy of the Wall Street Journal.

Answer 2

You can go to msnmoney.com; yahoo finance.com or almost any other financial site. You could also subscribe to Barron's or the Wall Street Journal or another financial publication. The information the sites and publications provide is adequate for “tire kickers” - those “just looking”.

When you want to see or do a more in-depth analysis, you should make the investment in a software program THEN learn how to properly trade.

I would LOVE to help you with further information, but it seems like every time I make a suggestion about the software program I use on a daily basis AND how much I like the program, someone reports me to Yahoo! Answers as “spam”.

My thoughts about that are when someone asks, I tell him or her what I use and how happy I am with the software program. Apparently “it rubs someone the wrong way.”

Thank you for asking your question. I enjoyed taking the time to answer your question. You did a great job - not only for your information, but for every other person interested in reading my answer. Thanks to everyone for reading my answer.

I wish you well!

You can get free stock quotes (the price you would pay to buy one share of a public company's stock) on any free finance site such as Yahoo! Finance, NYSE.com, etc. Most free stock quotes are delayed by 15 minutes. If you want real-time quotes, you will probably have to subscribe to some kind of paid service.
