Stock change is the difference between 2 prices.  The first price is usually the last price of the previous day or the first price of the current day.  The second price is the last price paid for the stock.  Subtract the first price from the second price to find the stock change.  Don't forget that your stock prices may be delayed depending on where you are getting your numbers.\n\nVolume: The number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period of time. It is simply the amount of shares that trade hands from sellers to buyers as a measure of activity. If a buyer of a stock purchases 100 shares from a seller then the volume for that period increases by 100 shares based on that transaction.

The average of the yields of the last 7 days.  You can use it to see which way rates are going if you didn't know otherwise.\n\nSo if my 1 day current yield is 4.08, but my 7 day is 4.01, we can see rates are rising.  \n\nConversely if my current day is 3.96, and my 7 day is 4.02, we can see that rates were higher over the last week than they are today, and they're moving downward.\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.
