I have 52 shares of Texas Petroleum dated June17, 1929. Is it worth anything, where do I find out?

If you want to research the history of that company, you should start with contacting the Texas Secretary of State, whose office would be responsible for tracking state corporations.  It probably will be archival material, but it should be possible to track the company down to find out whether it was ever acquired by a company still in business.

I would look for your model of rifle under gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com to see if any like yours pop up. If so, more than likely it will tell when it was made and a value.

Canada Southern Petroleum Ltd. (CSPLF) $5.30 a share?\n\nOther stocks to look at are:\n\nCANADIAN SUPERIOR (SNG)\n\nCANADIAN OIL SANDS (COSWF.PK)\n\n"Suncor Energy (SU)\n\nTom Wirth: MAKER\n\nThe difference is they really are a manufacturing company. The reason why I state that is that they are developing the oil sands in Canada.\n\nDavid Asman: That's sucking oil out of sand.\n\nTom Wirth: Absolutely. You have to manufacture that oil from the sands to get it to the crude so then it can go to the refiner.\n\nDavid Asman: The wave of the future and they're on top of it and you think they can go to $40 (Friday’s close: $35.23).\n\nTom Wirth: I do. I think they will be able to double their output in the next 5-7 years.\n\nJim Michaels: BREAKER\n\nI got a ditto this one with BP. The price of oil will not stay this high and I think the stock is way up. I wouldn't buy it at this price.\n\nElizabeth MacDonald: MAKER\n\nI'm a maker. This is a company that's at the forefront of extracting oil from sand. A huge technology. And also they have terrific cash from operations numbers coming in. I like the stock a lot."\n\n"The top stocks to buy\nStill, whether Canada's oil is going east or south, it's going somewhere, and that means smart investors should be considering adding some exposure to Canadian oil to their portfolio. One to consider, says Jim Jubak on MSN¹s Money Central, is Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ: NYSE). Natural gas is a crucial ingredient in the process of extracting oil from sand and the firm is Canada's number two natural-gas producer. And it has more than just gas. The firm also has oil-sand deposits and extraction technology that will pay off as long as oil prices remain above $35."

There is no "lookup" page, although you could scroll through the index changes pages (organised by years) to determine when it was added.\n\nOn the S&P page below, click the box marked 2006 and change it to a different year to try and locate the stock you're interested in.\n\nCheers,\nRichard.

Think of this as the first step in performing adequate research into  stock. Use yahoo finance, look in the business section of the newspaper, go to the library and get a s and p stock guide. If you can't find it in one of those sources, chances are that it either is not a publicly traded company or it isn't worth your time.

There's a cool site which has this, and it's the Treasury so it's probably trustworthy.\n\nAs of 3/13/2006:  $8,270,385,415,129.52

They might have it in the footnotes somewhere, or it might be listed in the text, but that's kind of rare.  Worse case, you could probably email/call up their investor relations department and just ask.

You can use finance.yahoo.com, enter a stock symbol...and on the stock info page, there is a link on the side called "Historic Prices". That will give you all the prices since the company went public adjusted for splits.

Well if you know how old they are they maybe worth more then what you pay for them. My advice is you need to look it up on some web site find the name of the company or who made it and look up some back ground on it you never know might be realy old!

You can download monthly historical quotes back to 1950 for the S&P 500 index from Yahoo Finance and calculate them from that data:\n\nhttp://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=%5EGSPC&a=0&b=3&c=1950&d=10&e=28&f=2006&g=m&ignore=.csv

Sempra Energy started to trade in 1998. Therefore, there is no "market value" assigned to it in 1987, even if it did exist as a private company.\n\nBy the way, here is how I normally find out historical prices of an equity: the best wite is Yahoo! Financials, in the "quote" window, type in the symbole of the equity of your choice, it leads you to the quote page. On its left, there is one column named "historical prices". Click on it, it leads you to a table of historical prices but by default, it only lists prices in the latest quarter. However, on the top of the table, you can specify the time frame during which you want to know the prices. You can also click on "next" botton to move the table quarter by quarter back to check the histories.
