What is a quote?
A quote is the current price of a stock or security. A quote shows you the last trade price and time for the selected symbol, the change (in dollars and percentage) from the previous day's market close, and the volume of shares traded.
Quotes are not saved because of the continuously changing nature of markets. You can track selected stocks of interest to you by setting up and saving a My Way portfolio.
