Google to Offer Real-Time Stock Quotes
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."
Just because they stop streaming after 25 minutes doesn't mean they aren't providing free real-time quotes. Because if you look at the top of a quote page during trading hours you get the realtime quote. Its been that way for at least a month. So the bit about google being the first free real-time quote is standard google fan boi on slashdot. As there have been FREE real-time quotes available for years (not just talking about yahoo, although they provided them years ago but were forced to discontinue them a few years ago
)
what turdface mod labeled this 'Offtopic' ?

... what sort of mathematical tools do researchers use to create the models that help people thrive? What sort of undergraduate math courses should I take in order to better understand the algorithms involved? To give a technical analogy... in high school, I was on a robotics team. I programmed the robot to respond to joysticks that told it how to accelerate. Of course, mechanical aberrations, among other things, caused the system not to function properly. So I learned about a process called PID feedback control. Basically, without it, acceleration would be jerky and the robot would be difficult to maneuver. However, with it, smoother, finer-grain control was granted to the operator. In a sense, it threw out outliers over time. Is this the essence of the stock market models? or is there something deeper? Either way, please let me know your thoughts.

TrollMods don't want to get the truth fast. They want to believe the 1990s Bubble was the Rapture, and this is heaven.
