How to read DIS stock report

[ncbyrne]

My DGDs Math project is to invest $5000 in 5 stocks. Then watch the reports for 5 days and make calculations.
I have NO personal knowledge of stocks or how to read the reports.
The Walt Disney World Co. lists todays stock as
35.02
+0.03 (0.09%)
My question is....
Is that $35.02 per share? And what is the 0.03 (0..9%) I know that it went up that much, but is that percentage or $ or what.
If we had bought $1000 worth of DIS stock, how much would we have made?

$35.02 is the price that the shares are currently selling for.

The .03 reflects the $$ amount the stock increased (or in some cases decreased) from yesterday to today.

You're only going to make money if you sell the stock. So you won't be able to figure out how much you'll make if you sell until tomorrow (unless you purchased the stock yesterday).

If you take $1000 and invest it in the stock, you're going to get around 28 shares.

If you look at the stock today it had a high of $35.25 a low of $34.80 It opened at 34.85 and closed at $35.20 actually being up .6% earning about .21 a share

It is very simple to read once you get the hang of the lingo. I am a former broker so if I can help in anyway(for school projects only not personal tips ;) ) let me know.
Oh and the symbol is DIS(that is how you would look up the stock on any of the daily charts)
29 shares X $ change in the stock gives you what your "worth" increased by
Easy way to do it.
Take the Number of shares you can buy with your $1000- about 29 . Each day just times 29 by the closing price- to get your current value. if she sells that is your profit vs. current value
