Tracking stocks made easy: USA TODAY's Market Trends - Matt Krantz

Q: Is there an easy place to track the weekly change in value of the major U.S. stock market indexes?

A: The spectacle of stock investing can get distracting. Flashing changes of stock prices every millisecond can rattle the calmest investor and even cause long-term investors to get caught up in minute-by-minute market trend changes.

Changing stock prices are a key part of financial markets. But concentrating on those market trend changes may prompt you to see market trends that aren't there or lose perspective on your long-term investment plan.

Watching weekly statistics can help you step out of the daily ups and downs while still keeping an eye on your stock investments. One resource you'll want to check is USA TODAY's weekly Market Trends page. This page, published almost every Monday, tells you how the major stock market indexes and sectors performed the past week, month and three months.

Across the top of the page, you'll see the Dow Jones industrial average, the Standard & Poor's 500 index and Nasdaq composite index displayed with weekly and monthly changes, plus the change over the past three months. You'll also find the same information for the Wilshire 5000 index and USA TODAY Internet 50.

You can see USA TODAY's Stock Market Trends page in the Monday edition of USA TODAY.
