checking stocks online

[KathinJapan]

OK so here is the deal. I bought some stocks years ago, thinking they would be for *the future* and now, well the time to sell some of them has come, or is coming, depends on how the stock is doing.
So, I live in Japan so I can`t check in my local paper. I know you can check on line, I just don`t know how to do it.
Any good sites to recomend?
TIA,
Kathryn

um, if you know the symbol you can just type it into google and it will give you the price and links to like 5 financial sites for instance here is a link to search google for microsoft's stock: MSFT
