Can I obtain historical quotes for a specific stock?

Yes. You can use the Charting tab, located in our Stock Snapshots screen. Once you are on that screen, then you can alter the chart to get history starting from 1996.

How do I find a stock or fund I am looking for?

You can use our Stock/Fund Snapshot screen to lookup a ticker symbol. If you don't know the symbol for the security you have in mind, you can enter the name or a portion of the name to search for it. If you're not sure of the exact name or spelling, you can use wild cards: An asterisk symbol (*) is an all-purpose wild card. If you're looking for a company whose name contains "technology" or "tech", you might use a wildcard like this "tech*", and your search will result in companies whose names contain tech plus any other combination of letters. You can also use an underscore (_) as a single-character wildcard. For example, if you're not sure whether the company spells its name "tech" or "teck", you might search on "tec_" to see what results you get.

How do I lookup Options, Puts, and Calls?

To look up Options, Puts, and Calls, please refer to the Snapshot FAQs section for more information.

How do I look up preferred stocks?

To get quotes on preferred stocks, enter the base symbol followed by the symbol for a hyphen "-" and the class of the shares. For example, US Bancorp Preferred A shares would be "USB-A". If you are not sure how to look up your preferred shares, you can look up the company's common shares followed by an asterisk symbol (*), for example, "USB*". This will link to a list of preferred stocks offered by that company.

Why can't I find the snapshot for BRKb in your database?

Please note that all stock classes need a period after the base symbol. For example, to list Berkshire Hathaway Class B in your portfolio, you should enter "BRK.B".

I can't find the correct symbol for various stock indices. Are they listed in the SmartMoney Stock Snapshots?

To get quotes on stock indices, enter a dollar sign ($) followed by the base symbol.For example, the ticker symbol for Dow Jones Industrial Average would be "$INDU". If you still cannot locate the ticker symbol, then look it up in our database.
