Before you can start buying or trading stocks you need to know how to read the stock market table or quote. A stock quote appears in financial papers and usually has 12 columns. The following is a brief description of what you can see in each column.

The first two columns represent the week high and low. These are the prices at its highest and lowest value at which a stock has been traded over the past year. The trading of the previous day is not included in these columns.

The third column identifies the name of the company and its type of stock. If it is common stock, the company doesn’t have special symbols or letters after its name. Different symbols or characters after the company name represent different types of shares

The fourth column indicates the ticker symbol. This symbol is the unique alphabetic name that identifies the stock of a certain company. This symbol is used when quoting latest stock prices.

The fifth column represents the dividend per share. This is where you can find the annual dividend payment per share. If the company is not currently paying out dividends, this space is left blank.

The sixth column indicates the dividend yield. This is your percentage return on the dividend. You can calculate it by dividing the annual dividends per share by the price per share.

The seventh column is the price/earnings ratio. This is calculated by getting the current stock prices of the last four quarters and dividing it by the earnings per share of the last four quarters also.

The eighth column represents the trading volume. This shows the total number of shares that have been traded for the day.

The ninth and tenth columns indicate the day high and low. This is the price range that the stock has been traded throughout the entire day.

The eleventh column indicates the close. This is the last trading price that was recorded when the market closed on that day.

The last column represents the net change. This is the dollar value difference in the stock price from the previous day’s closing price.

These days, you can already get stock quotes from the Internet. It will be more convenient for you since most websites that offer stock quotes are updated constantly throughout the day. For you to become a successful trader, you should know how to read the stock market quote or table.
