How do I find market value of a stock at a particular date?
MLS99 asked:
Tax time, I have to find the market value of my company’s stock at about 15 times during the year. What’s the fastest way to do it? Thanks.

Well, first you build a time machine, then you go back in time to those particular dates. Pull up Yahoo Finance, and look at the graph. It will show you what the price is. Or, if you were really clever, you could just go to Yahoo Finance right now, and look at the value on the chart for those dates. Idiot.

Easiest way is right here on Yahoo.. Put a ticker symbol in the Get Quote box on a Yahoo page and look at the quote summary screen which appears.
On the left hand side, you will see a list of other links. The 3rd one down is Historical Prices. Select that link and follow the instructions on the page that appears.

Yahoo Finance provides daily trading ranges for most widely held stocks. Here is a link for JNJ. Just input your dates and ticker and hit enter.

It’s simple!
Go to Yahoo finance (http://finance.yahoo.com)
Type in your symbol of the stock you’re looking for
Then on the left, click on historical quotes.
Now, you can then type in the date range you want and choose daily/weekly/etc and download the data to excel or wherever.
Or if you prefer, you can go to this link instead. Just replace GOOG with the stock symbol that you’re looking for.
Here’s the link to NYSE index

Have fun!
*The adjusted price is the stock price adjusted for splits. So if a stock was at 100, and split 2 for 1 to 50, the adjusted price would show you the price as if the stock had always been at 50 so you can determine the real change in value of that stock over time.
