Denver Post cuts stock listings during the week

The Denver Post announced Wednesday that it would discontinue printing stock and mutual fund listings during the week.

A brief item on its website states, “Starting today, the Business section will no longer carry stock and mutual-fund tables Tuesday through Saturday. We’re eliminating the tables to lower our newsprint costs.

“Readers will still be able to get daily stock and mutual-fund information by going to denverpost.com/business. Stock quotes also are available by calling 800-555-8355.

“The Business section will continue to provide market-roundup information each day, including a report on the major indexes, New York Stock Exchange winners and losers and a daily markets story. On Sunday, we’ll also continue to publish our Your Money page with weekly stock recaps, CD rates and credit-card information.

“We know you may miss print access to individual stocks and mutual funds, but we encourage you to use The Denver Post’s online service to stay on top of the market.”

I object to the elimination of the stock market quotations. I tried your website and could not locate the current price for my mutual fund -Vanguard Wellington. The price of the paper keeps going up while the news coverage shrinks. Not the best way to encourage new readership. Being the only paper in town has its advantages.
