Peak Your Curiosity 

If you have a specific stock you’re researching, or maybe you like to mosey about in information out of curiosity, here’s how to do it effectively.

Today, July 13th, 2023, I was curious about Starbucks (SBUX) after getting my daily dose of caffeine. I made a ticker to specifically look at the real-time pricing for the company. At the bottom part of the tabs, I clicked on the positions map, and the below image appeared. 

If you click on the stock, the below image will pop up with 5 different links, the real-time price (delayed by 15 minutes), Trading days, the Market Cap, and a comparison of the S&P 500 (SBUX obviously outperforms the S&P).

Who doesn’t know about Starbucks? But sometimes, when you create a stock screener, you’ll find companies that are unfamiliar to you. If you hover your cursor over the name of the company/stock, a summary will pop up covering the purpose, history, and general information, like the image below.
