Free Real-Time Stock Quotes From Google

The Google Blog announces that NetCoalitions efforts to free up stock quotes are close to succeeding. For now, stock quotes online are a messy business.

For now, stock quotes online are a messy business, with most websites haveing quotes that are time-delayed (usually 15-20 minutes), or require registration or fees for real-time stock values. It's ridiculous that the stock exchanges wouldn't be making it ridiculously easy for people to buy and sell stocks with proper information (their bread and butter) in the name of considerably smaller stock quote fees.

"As a result, we've worked with the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and our D.C. trade association, NetCoalition, to find a way to bring stock data to Google users in a way that benefits users and is practical for all parties. We have encouraged the SEC to ensure that this data can be made available to our users at fair and reasonable rates, and applaud their recent efforts to review this issue. Today, the NYSE has moved the issue a great step forward with a proposal to the SEC which if approved, would allow you to see real-time, last-sale prices across all Google properties including Google Finance, Personalized Google, Mobile, and of course, Google.com. It won't matter if you're on Wall Street or Main Street - you'll have free, easy and fast access to real-time prices from NYSE on Google."

NetCoalition is a collective public voice for Google, Yahoo, IAC/Ask.com, CNet and Bloomberg. Gary Price told me that, if you can't wait for NetCoalition to complete the deal, you can get free real-time stock quotes at FreeRealTime. The site requires registration, but BugMeNot's got your back. There's even a WAP version. The quotes are ECN quotes, which is a confusing and difficult situation in itself, so be aware of that.
