Where to Find Current AMEX, NYSE and NASDAQ Stock Quotes
Traders seeking information on the AMEX exchange can now find it on the NYSE website (effective January 16, 2009), as the amex.com website was phased out after NYSE Euronext acquired the American Stock Exchange.
Nasdaq.com carries all of the information needed to trade on that market, while sites such as Yahoo Finance offer stock market information, commentary, tips and helpful tools useful to traders in all major markets.
