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."

    "tons" of subscription services will not lose most of their user base overnight as "tons" of subscription services offer more services than just "real-time quotes." Including research/reports, customer service, stock trading, etc... This is a non-issue.

    I'd like to know how Google will make its money on this particular service. How?

    How does Google make money at anything? They'll sell your eyeballs to advertisers.
