Stock Price Charts

Stock prices changing(charts)?

I posted a question on yahoo answers before asking, "How do stock prices change over a period of time?" The answers were okay, but I'm not quite sure I was satisfied with them completely. Are there charts that show how stock prices have changed and continue to change over a period of time? Or maybe you have a better answer than the ones I previously recieved. I really need this information for a project I'm doing. Thank you for your time and any info is greatly appreciated.

1. sure there are charts to show how stock prices have moved. Go to YAHOO finance. !!!!! You can get 5 year charts for sure of just about any stock or stock exchange in the USA. Actually..I just checked...you can get charts for the DOW, from 1935 Onward. Go to yahoo. Click on yahoo finance. Scroll down to the market summary section. Click On DOW...then you will come to another page with a graph. If you pick the maximum graph, you will see a graph showing the DOW Jones industrial averages since 1935. The Dow is though to be the best USA stock market indicator. If you go back to the Yahoo Finace main page, you will also see the NASDAQ charts, and if you click on the Europe tab...you can see some historical European and even Asian stock market trend graphs. The Big exchanges Are USA: Dow Jones, S+P 500 , Nasdaq Europe: CAC40 (france) DAX(germany) FTSE( England) Asia: Hang Seng
2. THE ONLY way I know how a stock's price changes is to do additional research: The news - good and bad AND just the fact a company is going to do something ore not do something. News covers a very broad area of reasons: changes in management change in the direction a company decides to go. changes in ratings by "the powers that be" etc. Splits Dividends Mergers Bankruptcies Filings with the SEC Earnings This is ALL pat of the basic research - before deciding to get into a trade. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name!
3. Earnings drive a stock, or anticipated earnings. When there is news that may make earnings potentially go up investors buy driving the share price up. If the share price gets too high in relation to earnings the share price will revert back to its mean. Works in the opposite.

That's almost double the total global GDP (approx. $48 Trillion) for JP Morgan alone. Funny money. IOU's. Another $34 Trillion for CitiBank and $32 Trillion for Bank of America, each with $1 1/4 Trillion backing their bets.

These are very interesting looking numbers. And very revealing. While it's true that existing single family home sales were up 2.8% month to month-- they were down 22.9% year to year.
