The site offers comprehensive data for securities listed on all major global exchanges, U.S. equity options and mutual funds, as well as pre-market and after-hours Extended Trading data.

"NASDAQ is committed to providing investors with the highest quality tools and information available to help them make well-informed investment decisions," said John Delta, vice president and general manager, NASDAQ.com.
