S-R Web site adds stock info

The Spokesman-Review

The Spokesman-Review has added a number of stock-market tracking tools to its Web site, www.spokesmanreview.com.

The information includes stock and mutual fund price quotes, lists of most-active shares and gainers and losers on all the major exchanges, a wide variety of market indexes and lists of industry groups sorted by market capitalization.

Like many newspapers nationwide, The Spokesman-Review recently trimmed stock and mutual fund listings in the print edition of the daily newspaper. The online tools, however, provide much more information than the paper had been printing.

To find the new market information, find “News” in the blue column on the left side of the Web site, then click the category “Business.”

The online tools are free to current subscribers of The Spokesman-Review or spokesmanreview.com.

Identity theft to be topic

A Colorado resident who was a victim of identity theft will talk to Ferris High School students Wednesday about protecting themselves against similar crimes.

The largest demographic segment targeted by identity thieves is 18- to 29-year-olds, while teens are the fastest-growing group of victims, said Zach Friesen, a sophomore at the University of Colorado.

Friesen’s visit was arranged by Qwest Communications. The telecommunications company’s Web site, www.qwest.com/ identitytheft, offers tips on protecting oneself against credit theft.

Friesen said he learned at the age of 17 that someone had used his name and Social Security number 10 years earlier to buy a houseboat. It took him several months to repair his credit history, he said.

His advice to parents: “If your kids are getting invitations by mail to take out a credit card, look into it. Someone may already be using your child’s name on a phony card.”
