1.  Navigation and Response Time


NASDAQ.com responds to user requests:

In an effort to improve response time NASDAQ.com has made some changes to the navigation.  We have removed most of the third tier navigation from our left-side menu. 

You will find some of your favorite links as part of "inline" navigation (shown below). 


We also encourage you to use the drop-down menus on the quote pages.  These menus allow you to select a page and a specific symbol to access content.  We encourage you to explore our new navigation and welcome your feedback on the site.



a.  Available Content for Stocks in Dropdown


One of the features on the Quotation Row is a dropdown menu of all components available for a stock. From this dropdown menu you can select an available feature of interest.  


There are a maximum of 23 features to choose from.
To view the same information on another symbol, hilite it and the information will appear. To choose a different feature, select it from the feature dropdown and that information will be displayed.

b.  Symbol dropdown


The Symbol dropdown list stores the symbols you previously entered. You may also add more symbols by using the add entry window next to this dropdown.  


Currently the display shows that one symbol has been retrieved and is displaying the data for a "FlashQuote".

c.  Add a Symbol (New)




This is a new feature requested by many of our users.  A new stock symbol can be added directly to the list of symbols you are presently viewing.  

Try a FlashQuote now and add stocks of your own choosing.

(1) Enter the new symbol in the "ADD" entry box . 
(2) Hit the "Enter" key or click on the "ADD" button.
(3) The symbol GILD has been added to the dropdown list. 
     A FlashQuote now appears for both BRCM and GILD.



A maximum of 10 symbols can be entered individually through the "Symbol Add" process.

Clicking on any symbol will take you to the Summary Quote area for that symbol.



Retrieve these 10 Stocks now.

d.  Change/Edit Symbol List


Also included in the Quotation Row is an "Edit Symbol List" button.  Selecting it displays the following:


Within the "Edit Symbol List" window, symbols can be added, edited or deleted. We also provide a "Symbol Lookup" feature to allow a search for an unknown symbol by name, part of the name or ticker symbol.  Once located through "Symbol Lookup", a found symbol is automatically added to your list of symbols. Upon completing  your symbol entries, you may hit either the "GO" button or the enter key to retrieve quotes.  You may also select from the features dropdown menu and automatically go to that area.

We have enhanced the Quotations area in response to the requests of users. We are working to improve the response time for obtaining a quote and are continuing to explore ways to provide the best environment for our users.
