Somewhere, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band must be playing a sad song. The Asbury Park Press joins the litany of newspapers cutting stock listings.
The Press stated in today’s paper: “Beginning this weekend, the Asbury Park Press will no longer publish mutual fund tables on Saturday and will no longer publish stock tables on Sunday. Stock listings will be published Tuesday through Saturday. Mutual fund listings will be published Tuesday through Friday, and on Sunday. An expanded stock market highlights package, which will include listings for the Asbury Park Press/Bloomberg 75 index, will run on Sundays. These changes will help the newspaper avoid duplicating the weekly closing prices of both stocks and mutual funds. Readers also may visit our Web site, www.app.com, for the latest information about stocks and mutual funds. On the home page, scroll down and enter your stock or mutual fund symbol in the Quotes box for the latest price and statistics.”
