Q:
What is a quote?
A: A quote is the
current price of a stock or security. A quote shows you the last trade price and time for the selected
symbol, the change (in dollars and percentage) from the previous
day's market close, and the volume of shares traded.
Quotes are not saved because
of the continuously changing nature of markets. You
can track selected stocks of interest to you by setting up and saving
an iWon portfolio.
