You can quickly get a quote for a company, even if you don't know the company's symbol. We can suggest possible symbols and companies as you type in the Get Quotes box:

  1. Begin entering the company name in the Get Quotes box. As you type, we'll display the symbols and companies matching your entry.
  2. When you see the correct company listed, click it and press the Enter key or click the GET QUOTES button. If the company isn't listed, click Show All Results for more choices.

To display quotes for more than one company, separate symbols with a comma or space. To use our suggested matches for multiple symbols:

  1. Begin entering a company name or symbol. When we display the correct company, use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to select it.
  2. Type a comma and begin entering another company name or symbol. Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to select a name from the list.
  3. When you're done entering symbols, press the Enter key or click the GET QUOTES button.
