I can’t fetch live Yahoo Finance data from here, but I can (A) tell you exactly how to pull the numbers from Yahoo Finance and how to fill the table, or (B) fill the table for you if you paste the “Today’s Price” and the “5‑Years Ago price” (or give me the exact dates and I’ll show the calculations). Which do you prefer?
If you want the step‑by‑step to get the numbers yourself on Yahoo Finance:
1. Use these tickers:
- Apple Inc. — AAPL
- Adobe Inc. — ADBE
- Ford Motor Company — F
- General Electric Company — GE
2. Get “Today’s Price”:
- Go to finance.yahoo.com and type the ticker in the search box.
- The quote page shows the current market price (“Previous Close” or the live quote). Use the current last trade price (or “Previous Close” if markets are closed).
3. Get the “5‑Year Price” (price exactly 5 years ago):
- On the same quote page click “Historical Data.”
- Set the Date Range: choose the date exactly 5 years earlier (for example, if today is 2025-12-10, set start and end dates to 2020-12-10) and click “Apply.”
- Under “Show,” select “Historical Prices” and download or read the table.
- Use the “Adj Close” (adjusted close) value for that date — that accounts for splits and dividends and is what you should use to compute true total return.
4. Compute “Made or Lost Money?”:
- Absolute change = Today’s price (use latest Close or Last) − 5‑Year Adj Close.
- Percent change = (Absolute change / 5‑Year Adj Close) × 100%.
- If absolute change > 0 → “Made money” (show $ and %). If < 0 → “Lost money” (show $ and %). Example: 5‑year price = $100, today = $150 → change = +$50 = +50%.
Example entry format you can paste into your table:
Apple Inc. | Today’s Price: $XXX.XX | 5‑Year Price (Adj Close on YYYY‑MM‑DD): $YYY.YY | Made/Lost: +$ZZ.ZZ (+PP.P%)
If you prefer, paste here the Today’s Price and the 5‑Year (Adj Close) price for each ticker and I’ll compute the Made/Lost columns for you.
