What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". RSS is a popular way to pull in news and information from across the Web. RSS allows web sites to easily push content to subscribers directly.
Subscribers are instantly updated with the latest information and news from web servers.
Say you come across information you find important or interesting. A click or two and it now feeds directly to your My Yahoo!, My MSN, or My AOL page. This "feed" is information straight from the website
delivering the latest possible news.
NASDAQ.com currently offers three kinds of feeds:
- Stock Quotes for a specific security
- Top 5 Unusual Volume Up
- Top 5 Unusual Volume Down
You must specify a company symbol for the Stock Quotes feed.
How do I use/subscribe to RSS?

- RSS reader software

Most major email and internet service providers offer RSS for it's users. Use the generated URL to subscribe to NASDAQ feeds.
What does the "Copy to Clipboard" button do?
Clicking this button will copy the URL from the box to your computer. This is the same as highlighting something and using CTR+C or

Firefox users will not see this button. This button is offered for convenience only.
