Sacramento Bee to cut stock listings

The Sacramento Bee becomes the latest paper to cut its stock listings, according to a short item from business editor Cathie Anderson in Thursday’s paper. The change will take place next week.

Anderson said, “In the newspaper, we will reduce our total listings. At the same time, online at www.sacbee.com/stocks, we will deliver more information on stocks and the companies you care about than we could ever bring to you in the newspaper.

“The link above takes you to a Web page with market summaries of the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and the S&P 500 indexes. You’ll see a performance listing of the most active stocks of the day, along with the market’s top gainers and losers.

“You can get up-to-the-minute quotes on the price of any stock. A search will deliver the stock’s closing price, its daily up or down change and its high and low for the day. You can click on the ‘Historical Prices’ link to find that company’s stock price on any particular day over the last seven years.”
