To quickly open multiple predefined websites for searching stock symbols, you can use a combination of keyboard shortcuts and search engines. Here's a simple method using Google Chrome:
-
Bookmark your favorite stock websites: Navigate to each website and click on the star icon in the address bar to bookmark the page.
-
Organize bookmarks: Click on the bookmark icon (star) in the toolbar, then select "Bookmark Manager". Arrange your bookmarks in a folder or subfolder for easy access.
-
Use keyboard shortcuts to open bookmarks: Press
Ctrl + O(Windows) orCmd + O(Mac) to open the "Open Bookmark" dialog. Start typing the name of the bookmark, and Chrome will suggest matches as you type. Select the desired bookmark and press Enter to open it.
Alternatively, if you prefer using search engines, you can set up custom search engines for your favorite stock websites. Here's how to do it:
-
Add custom search engines: Click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of Chrome, then go to "Settings" > "Search engine". Under "Search engines", click on "Manage search engines".
-
Add a new search engine: Click on the "Add" button, enter the name of the stock website (e.g., "AAPL Stock"), the keyword (e.g., "$AAPL"), and the URL of the search page on the stock website (e.g.,
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?p=AAPL). Save the changes. -
Use custom search engines: In the address bar, type the keyword followed by the stock symbol (e.g.,
$AAPL), and press Enter to search the stock on the designated website.
For example, if you want to search for Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock, you can type $AAPL in the address bar and press Enter to open the search result page on the specified stock website.
