Thanks, I would never use Yahoo RT quotes for trading, just as an general
indicator as to where the stock is currently trading. By the way, do you
know which ECN's supply Yahoo with RT quotes?
I do run my Excel spreadsheet sometimes during the day with the latest 20
min delayed quotes to see what is happening to my stocks in roughly
realtime. I am thinking that perhaps I could do the same thing with MS by
putting in the latest day to present time data from Yahoo, then the final
data at the end of day from Reuters would over write it and become the
historical record.
Thanks
Tom
