Real-time stock quotes from Google Finance
It’s been a long time in the making, but Google finally now offers real-time stock quote information for NASDAQ on Google Finance. This feature is important, and gives Google a bit of an advantage over Yahoo Finance — you have to pay $13.95 a month if you want real-time quotes there. Now Google supports real-time quotes for the following:
- Dow Jones Indices
- NASDAQ Indices
- NASDAQ Stock Exchange
- New York Stock Exchange Indices
- S&P Indices
- Shanghai Stock Exchange
- Shenzhen Stock Exchange
This is interesting because according to Yahoo, they don’t list any free real-time data in Yahoo Finance at all. This is a huge step in the right direction — I wonder how long it will be befpre Yahoo makes their real-time data free as well?
