Careful with the "real time" quotes from Yahoo:  because they
use only a few ECNs, their real time quotes may *not* reflect
actual market prices (but rather the most recent numbers from
the represented ECNs).  For heavily traded issues, this is
likely a moot point, but for more lightly trades issues, this
should be a concern.
