Reasearch with ShareBuilder.

I would not use sharebuilders research as a reliable sourse. You may not know this if it's your first time investing into the stock markets but you should always double or triple check your information on prices of the stocks and their fifty two week hi's and low's. I use thewww.sharebuilder.com and in your search for the website you should see where is says open an account. Click on open an account or you may just simply click the link to the website. Go to open an account at the top right of the page.www.bankofamerica.com you would enter the banks name as Bank of America and then the routing number and so on then click next.www.nasdaq.com and the after hour quote of their website. They are the most accurate as far as quotes and even after the market closes you can still watch what your stocks are doing. ShareBuilder has some problems having accuracy when it comes to the 52 two week highs. I have seen some bogus information claiming a penny stock went from a penny all the way up to $5,000 in 52 weeks. When I double checked the information it got up to $5 in 52 weeks.
