<font color="#000000">There are a number of free and
subscription streaming real time quote services available on
the web, such as <b>scottrader.com</b> (free) and
<b>money.net</b> (subscription). They offer visually slick
looking Java based applications which suffer from all the
usual problems: too big, requires a graphical user
interface, requires a web browser where Java actually works,
can't save and replay the data, etc. In addition, they are
rarely designed to offer convenient access to stock news and
other information.</font></td></table><br>

cool features: portfolios, real time quotes, charts with
live updates, time and sales, fundamental and technical
indicators, top ten and market movers, news articles,
alerts, option chains, the Briefing.com In Play and

but not all web browsers. The reason that they sometimes
work and sometimes don't seems to be the version of the Java
VM that is installed with the web browser. Some applets work
well only with the Java VM that is in Netscape 4.x, some
work well only with a more recent Java VM from Sun such such
as might be installed with Netscape 6.x, and some work well
