subject: How Stock Quotes Facilitate Investing [print this page] The stock market moves forward displaying the latest stock quotes, enabling investors and stock brokers to assess market conditions, thus facilitating trading. When Internet was a far-fetched reality, stock brokers relied on the trading platform, i.e. the trade floor to take a quick look of the most active stocks or live stock quotes. Investors relied on stock brokers to get the latest stock quotes including information on hot stocks. The television channel did provide some relief by carrying news and information on the same, but not as frequently as programmed today. The scenario is no more the same. Since the last few years, the Internet has altogether changed the very concept of trading. Stock brokers and investors started trading online and to cater to their information demand, a number of financial portals, brokerage sites, news portals, and more cropped up facilitating online trading as well as updating users with live stock quotes, hot stocks and complete information related to the stock market. Now it matters not where you are as an investor. You can have access to stock information anywhere anytime using the Internet. The stock exchange sites (like BSE, NSE) also exhibit in their respective sites thousands of live stock quotes during their trading hours and beyond that. It is not only the most active stocks or live stock quotes that the investor or broker can take a quick look at; they can also go through historicalstockpricetrends. Because only watching the latest stock quotes cannot help the investor take informed trading decisions. Several factors need to be taken into consideration. Conducting a research on the market segment and firm related to the particular stock that one is going to buy in addition to studying market trends will keep the investor at the gaining edge. The investor can also have an interaction with brokers online; most financial platforms offer this facility to guide investors in choosing the right stocks. A novice investor may find it difficult in assessing live stock quotes. Many investors blindly buy stocks without going into details, thus ending up incurring huge losses. The figures confuse many. So, it is advisable that one should first learn how to view the latest stock quotes and then venture into the field. A stocks price may vary during the course of the day. The investor should be able to mark the change too if any.
