how to get a complete list of stock symbols?

I've been looking for years and haven't found one.  Also, I have found that many stocks can be immediately ruled out, unless you know more than me.  Some are traded infrequently, some have no information and some just don't make any sense to me.\n\nWhat I have found is that the question you should be asking is: "If I had a list of all of the stocks, what would I look for?"  That is where a stock screening program comes in.  Yahoo finance has one for free, and you can find a screener at almost any stock related site.  \n\nA screener will go through the list of stocks in that screener and, based on criteria you define, return a set of results.  Your criteria might be (volume > 100000) or (Price > 5) or (price > 52 week high).  For me, this is the best way to locate stocks that I would be interested in.\n\nI hope I interpreted your question correctly.  Good Luck

Ctrl + 13 gets you one.  \n\nAlso, you can go to "start" "programs" "accessories" "system tools" then "Character Map."  You will find most of them under "symbols."\n\nGood Luck

It's simple if by returns you mean closing prices.\n\n\nJust go to Yahoo finance (http://finance.yahoo.com) \n\nType in your symbol of the index (or stock) you’re looking for\n\nThen on the left, click on historical quotes. \n\nNow, you can then type in the date range you want and choose daily/weekly/etc \n\nYou can even download the data to excel or wherever.\n\n\nOr if you prefer, you can go to this link instead. Just replace GOOG with the index or stock symbol that you’re looking for. \n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=goog\n\nIf you want a different one, just type in the symbol or look it up and type it in. \n\nTo download, just click on the link at the bottom of the page.\n\nHave fun!

go to yahoo finance.  If you know the symbol for the company key it into the space where it says "get quotes".  If you do not know the symbol, click on the words "symbol lookup". Unfortunately, you have to know how to spell the name of the company.  After you find the symbol, key it in and there will be displayed the price of one share of stock.  For example, Microsoft, MSFT, last trade $21.92;  Bank America, BAC, $48.79

I don't have your answer, but try START>ACCESSORIES>SYSTEM TOOLS>CHARACTER MAP. That will give you a bunch more symbols to use. I hope that helps.
