How to read CNBC morning stock ticker?
I was watching the business news on CNBC, and noticed that the ticker would say something like "Exxon down - 100@$79.00".
What does the "100" mean?

That ticker you are referring to is showing real-time trades. Those are normally shown after-market. So that is 100 shares at $79.00 per share.

Here is a good explanation of the CNBC stock ticker tape along the bottom of your TV screen.
