Steve Winston answers:
Instead of giving you just those numbers, I'm going to show you how to get all the historical
quotes you want!
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.
Http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=GOOG
In your case, here’s the link to the Nasdaq composite index.
Http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EIXIC
And the link for the S&P 500
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EGSPC
And the link for the DOW
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EDJI
4/9
5. And the link for NYSE index
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5ENYA
Just take the closing prices each year and divide the new by the old to get your % change year
over year.
Hope that helps!
*By the way, 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.
Robert asks…

composite index back to 1999?
Ideally I'd like data and a visually informative chart.
5/9
7. It means that the stock no longer meets the listing
requirements to be a part of the index. Earnings
may have fallen below acceptable levels.
The cash flow and stock capitalization may also
no longer meet the required standards, other
considerations, like revenue and operating income.
It means the stock has fallen out of favor for the
above reasons, and it no longer is representative
of what Nasdaq wants to present to its investing
public.
Nancy asks…
Do you think the NASDAQ composite index is going to break
through the lows that it made in 2002?
at the bottom of the last bear market?
I think it hit 1060 intraday?

William asks…
What is the equation used to calculate NASDAQ index?
Steve Winston answers:
First, there are many NASDAQ indexes. Second, each varies in its method. Generally, once the
8/9
9. stocks that are to be members of the index are chosen, the index is the the sum of (each stocks
price x the number of shares in its float) divided by some arbitrary number to reduce the
resultant huge number to a more resonable value.
Often indexes are NOT dividend-adjusted meaning that most published US stock indexes
understate long term performance by 2-5% per year.
