Beginner Investing/rolling stock price

Question
Where can I look to find the 50-200 day rolling average for a given stock?

Answer
Hi Michael,

Thanks for the question.

For technical features like moving averages you can usually find free resources on the internets.

I like to use yahoo finance but google and other portals have similar tools.

If you go to yahoo finance and check out their interactive chart feature you can map out all sorts of technical data including moving averages.

Just go here:

http://finance.yahoo.com/

Enter the stock ticker in question--next to the "get quotes" button.

And then hit "interactive chart"

From there select "technical indicators" and enter the average you are interested in.

You can then scroll through the chart to get the average data.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Steve
