Marty's suggestion is a good one, Yahoo has a number of nice info
facilities. To save time, I set up a "Stocks" folder in
Start|Favorites and filled it with shortcuts to the stocks I'm
interested in. For instance, create a shortcut named Terex Corp and
fill it with http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=tex . This will take you
directly to the Yahoo Headlines page for Terex bypassing all the Yahoo
signon folderol. Replace the three letter 'tex' with the 2,3 or 4
letter symbol for exchange listed stocks. For Bulletin Board or Pink
Sheet stocks use (symbol).ob or .pk instead ( spkl.ob ). Personally,
I prefer going first to the 5 day charts (15 minute delay) such as
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=ibm&t=5d&c= or
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=spkl.ob&t=5d&c= and then occasionally
going to the other functions headlines or company events etc.
