How to Ask Alexa Stock Prices

This wikiHow teaches you how to get current stock prices on any Amazon Alexa enabled device, such as the Amazon Echo or the Echo Dot. Alexa can answer questions about the stock price on any New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ stocks.



Quick Summary
"Alexa, check Amazon stock." Amazon's current stock price.
"Alexa, stock price for Amazon." Amazon's current stock price.
"Alexa, stock price for A-M-Z-N." Amazon's current stock price.
"Alexa, how's the stock market?" Summary of the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500.

Steps
1
Say "Alexa". Say the wake command to wake Alexa and she will begin listening for your next command.
The default wake command is "Alexa," but if you've changed it to "Echo," "Amazon," or some other command, then use that instead.
2
Ask Alexa the stock price for a specific stock. You can simply say "Stock price for ..."' and the name of any publicly traded stock on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. Alexa will give you the current stock price and the time of that price (typically within the last 15 minutes) as well as what percent increase or decrease the price is from the previous day's close.
For example, you can say, "Alexa, stock price for Amazon," or "Alexa, check Amazon stock,"' to get the stock price for Amazon.com Inc.
3
Ask Alexa the stock price of a stock's symbol. You can ask the stock price for any stock's symbol (the short unique series of letters) that identify the stock rather than the stock's full name. This may come in handy if Alexa does not recognize the stock name correctly for some reason.
For example, you can say, "Alexa, stock price for A-M-Z-N," which will also give you the stock price for Amazon.com Inc.
4
Ask Alexa how the market is performing. If you simply ask "Alexa, how's the stock market?" you will get a summary of the Dow Jones, NASDAQ and S&P 500 indexes and their relatively recent performance. This can be handy if you want an overall sense of how the economy is doing.
