There are roughly 5000 Publically
traded U.S. stocks out there…..So
how do we keep track of them all?

3 main Indexes that are followed:
The Nasdaq
Dow Jones Industrial
Average
S&P 500

Found via their TICKER SYMBOL= Stocks “ID”
 Symbols are 1 to 4 letters in length
 Citigroup= C
 Facebook= FB
 Bank of America= BAC
 Apple = AAPL

3 main indexes are simply an easy way to
gauge the performance of stocks as a whole
without looking at 5000 individual stocks.

There are many other indexes out there that
track every sector and type of stocks.

The best way to start understanding stocks is
to begin with what you know!
