Stock Chart Education, Test Your Knowledge

Posted by Blain Reinkensmeyer on Tuesday May 1, 2007

Alright, investor education is going to a new level, I am going to TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE of the basics that we learned yesterday on stock charts.

Subscribe to the feed (google reader is most popular) to participate as we go here, but basically I am going to give you a stock chart from today, and then ask you 10 questions about the chart. The questions will get harder as they go and require more interpretation of Monday’s chart basics post.

Friday I will post up the answers for you to utilize at your convenience! (UPDATE: You can find the answers to this quiz here.)

So STOCK TRADING 101 Readers, Here is your chart which is at the close today, May 1st 2007:

Stock Chart Google

  1. What is Google’s “ticker”?
  2. What price did Google close at today?
  3. Is this a weekly, monthly, or daily chart of Google?
  4. Was today an up or down day overall for Google?
  5. What was the intraday high today?
  6. Is Google trading above or below its 200 day moving average?
  7. The average daily volume line is based off of the last ___ days of trading.
  8. Today’s volume was ______ (below or above) the average?
  9. March 1st was an ____ day (up or down) overall?
  10. (Tough One!) The last “heavy” volume day was an accumulation or a distribution day?

If you need help, first read this post on stock chart basics, also you can refer to this post on Moving Averages, and for the last question I’d read over understanding accumulation and distribution days.

Good stuff. I’m pretty sure I got the last one, but it leaves me wondering. How much does volume have to beat the average to be considered “heavy?”

http://falkininvesting.com/blog/2007/02/27/understanding-an-accumulation-day/ Check out that post for clarification, but it simply needs to just beat the average daily volume to be considered “heavy”. cool
