What kind of food do you like in the autumn?

Autumn is my favorite time, too.

I love the cool weather and the beautiful colors.

Late October is the best time to see fall colors in Delaware.

That is a lot of cats!  How old are her kittens now?

 Homework;

 

 1.B.Tell me:

    (1)the date of the quote, 

       In Oct, 25th.

    (2)the time of the quote and

       At 1:45amET.

    (3)the stock price.

       $13.57 per a stock.

  

 1.C.Find any other source on the web for an Applied Materials stock

     price quote.  List the URL for your source. 

     My source is http://www.nyse.com/

 2.A.Tell me the stock price quote that you found. 

     The price is $13.57.

 2.B.Is it the same as the one listed on the company's web site at ---?

    Both those prices are same.

 2.C.If the quotes have different prices, why do you think they are different?

   This time there were no difference. If the quotes have different prices,

   The cause from difference that scale of market between securities

 stock exchange and Nasdaq.

Stocks listed on the NYSE often have a larger price per share.  Many

NYSE stocks are very old companies.  They earn dividends regularly for

many decades.  Shareholders will pay a high price per share because the

companies are very reliable.

The NASDAQ often has smaller, younger, riskier companies in it.

Investors do not like to pay a high price for these stocks.

 

However, my question asked you to look at two different places on the

Web that each had the price of one company's stock.  The main reason the

stock price could be different is that the price quotes were posted at different

times of the same day.  Some sites may not change their quotes very often.
