Scan the newspapers to read daily market quotations
February 15th, 2009
The prices at which shares are transacted on the stock markets get wide coverage in daily newspapers. Financial newspapers, like The Economic Times, Business Standard, The Financial Express, and The Hindu Business Line, of course, give a more comprehensive and detailed coverage. Stock market quotations in a financial newspaper will typically give you the following information:
1. Name of the company;
2. Separate set of quotations for BSE and NSE;
3. BSE code number assigned to the company;
4. Closing price of the previous day;
5. Opening price of the previous day;
6. High and low prices of the previous day;
7. Value of shares traded;
8. Number of trades that took place in the share;
9. Volume of shares traded;
10. Current P/E ratio; and
11. High / low prices of the year, or the past 52-weeks.
It is quite easy to read these quotations since almost all these newspapers provide easy-to-understand explanatory notes.
