Do I need to know a company's ticker symbol to get an online stock quote?

Getting Stock Quotes Online

As fewer newspapers carry stock quotes, it becomes more and more important to get comfortable with online stock quotes. Search for stock quotes using either the name of the company or the company's ticker symbol. You'll get access to the last trading price, the total change in price from the day before, the P/E ratio, the range of prices for the last year and more. You'll also be able to view a chart showing the movement of the stock's price in various increments of time, from the last few hours to the last 5 years or more.
