Hi Mateo C,

I'd be happy to answer this question for you!

Yahoo Finance is an excellent resource for stock prices and other information. It's reliable and easy to use! Once you enter Dior in the search menu, choose the stock symbol or "ticker" for the company to pull up the financial page. You will see many valuable tabs but go to "Historical Data" to view historical stock prices for each day, which will be helpful for the end-of-the-month prices you will need for your assignment.

Reading and understanding what the words mean can be confusing, but they don't have to be. I listed helpful words and definitions for you to reference when viewing various stock information.

Open - The opening price of the stock when the market opens.

High - The highest price the stock reached that particular trading day.

Low - The lowest price the stock reached that particular trading day.

Close - The stock's closing price at the market's close.

Volume - The number of shares traded within a specific period.

I hope this helps!
