Google to Offer Real-Time Stock Quotes

Posted by kdawson on

Apro+im writes "Today, Google announced that Google Finance will report real-time prices on NASDAQ-listed securities. While real-time stock quotes are not new, they have long encumbered with subscriptions, legal agreements, or pay software. This may be the first free source for real-time quotes."

    No one's done anything that is both efficient, accurate, and smart enough that it makes money.

    The minute you can make a program that can do it, you have, essentially, a "forumla" for the stock market.

    While the formula may be hugely complex, if such a formula exists, it's kinda self destroying, because the stock market exists in a way because there is no formula.

    The best you can do is make a psuedo-ai that can make guesses based on data. And again, no one's made a computer good enough at guessing that it makes money.
