Advice on Stock Market Quotes Free

Find more information about Stock Market Quotes Free at the best oniine resource site Teen Analyst.

Q: Is there a website where i can go to find old stock market quotes for free?

A: http://finance.yahoo.com is a very good site for a lot of stock market information. And it’s all free.

If you open a brokerage account with Fidelity, you get access to a lot of stock information as well. This probably true for a lot of online brokerage houses.

Q: Why are stock market quotes delayed 15+ minutes on the free internet and cable TV?
It seems unreasonable. Everyone (the American public) was encouraged to invest in the stock market over the last 10+ years. Where is the info? In the computer age, why is it delayed? Why do we have to subscribe (and pay) to obtain real-time data?

A: I was wondering exactly the same thing!

Q: Is there a web site that offers free market quotes for single stock futures from One Chicago?
Even 20 minute delayed quotes?

A: Delayed quotes are available all over the web, although reuters.com and bloomberg.com are the biggest providers.

The reason you can’t find anything more recent is that Exchanges charge high prices for up to the second trading data. Sometimes the price paid depends on the number of end users and it is also usual these days for the exchanges to force intermediaries to make you agree to their contract terms before making the data available. So if you do decide to pay for access you will find you have to click through pages of contracts from 5 or 6 exchanges and agree to their terms before the service is switched on.

Q: Where can I get free stock market ticker for India for my website?
I want to include a stock market ticker,which can display latest stock market quotes for indian stocks on my website. Tell me please.

A: Contact with agencies like Reuters, NSE, BSE etc. who can provide such link at a price with a few minutes delay of real time stock prices at the exchanges.

Q: Anyone know of a good free online stock-market tutorial?
I have seen a few here and there, but i can’t find one that gets down to the nitty-gritty and explain how to read stock quotes, and not just so that you know what the numbers mean, but so that the numbers have a significance.
Any good elabrotate ones?

A: try some of these, they’re all free

Q: How can I add a stock market quote for a single company on my website like yahoo finance is perfect.?
I need to add investors relations page on a website so need to provide quotes and charts preferably for free or at a very LOW price.

Would be great if it is customizable and can’t really copy and paste code from other sites (copyright laws).

I am happy to do some coding if required I just need a tutorial.

A: Well, you WILL have to do some serious coding!
Since markets change at any instant, to get an up-to-date figure, you would need to find and READ an RSS feed, that is, decode its contents.
Search the feed, then I may give you guidance on how to read the feed.
(Have a look at web2coders.com/rss: there is an RSS reader that selects feeds, read them, and converte them into a sueable form).

Q: Where can I download free historical stock quotes, preferably NYSE and NASDAQ?
Several sites provide 7-15 years of data at a cost of $50-100 per market. There has to be a bit torrent or file sharing site with a single CSV, Excel or raw data download for historical stock data.

A: yahoo finance will let you do it. go to quotes. select teh link for histprical pricing. enter in your range, download the data, then on the bottom click the link for ‘downloading to excel’

Q: Where can I see the monthly dividend quotes of the World Stock Markets for the last 5 years for free?
Yahoo finance do not report the dividends; only the Market price adjusted.

A: Market *indexes* don’t pay dividends, because you can’t buy them. They are like financial thermometers.

You have two choices:

1) Look up the stocks of that index (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) individually and check their dividends in Yahoo Finance.

2) Look up an index ETF (DIA, QQQQ, SPY) and check their divivdend.

Well, actually Yahoo does report the dividends

Q: What’s a good stock market simulation game?
I’m looking for a free online stock market simulation game that uses real quotes in real time, but you don’t use real money. I’d like to get “experience” in learning how the stock market works though a simulation. Does anyone know of a good website that does this? Thanks.

A: weseed.com :)

thats what we use at school.

Q: Any idea where I can find live stock quotes that I can publish on a site.?
I am looking for a free source of live stock market prices to publish dynamically on a site using some form of feed.
It has to be dynamic with no updating required. Simply streams the quotes and updates automatically.

A: I don’t think you can do this with live quotes. The markets charge a lot to be able to get live quotes. There are quite a few sites that have quotes on delays. Finance.yahoo.com is one. You could inquire with them about rss feeds.

Quick question though…

Why??

This would be a lot of work and there are 20 million sites that already do what you are talking about doing.

Q: I want to know how to download an XML data feed of stock market data (including Level 2 quotes) at my request.
I am looking for information on downloading level 2 quotes in XML format at my request. Does anyone know of a site that will allow me to do this at a cheap/reasonable/free price? I want to be able to send a request to the site/service for any given symbol and retrieve an XML file with current level 2 quotes. I can’t seem to find any information on this so far.

Ameritrade (my current account) only allows you to view information for one stock at any given time, and is based on a web page. I have not tried to figure out if I could rip the information from there or not (I’m sure I could), but it would be easier to do this on a request basis from a homegrown application. Any ideas?

A: Here is a source:

http://www.quotemedia.com/xml.php

Their snap quotes include Level 2 quotes.

Hope this helps!

Q: Is there any program or site that shows the stock market? Like a scrolling stock quote?
If it’s free, then great.

A: If you’re looking for a ticker, turn on your tv to cnbc or fnn. If you’re looking for streaming quotes, then read on.

There’s LOTS of sites that show streaming quotes. Start w/ your broker!

Outside of that, you could use yahoo finance or stockchart.com, or bigcharts.com, or something like that.

I use prophet.net and it’s fantastic.

Hope that helps!

Q: Getting ‘open source’ historical INTRADAY stock quotes?
I would like to have RAW intraday historical stock market data in the form of a downloadable file or an API.
Ideally I would like to get quotes for the whole exchange, going back as many years as possible. I would like the sampling to be at 1 minute intervals, though 30 minutes intervals would also be OK.

Since I need this information for a science project please note the following remarks:
1. I need raw data.
2. It should be free. I was thinking this data is common knowledge and open to all people. I am not going to use this data commertially so I would like to avoid paying for it.
3. I don’t need the data of the whole market. With this I mean that I only run some tests and that – lets say – the data of 5 companies for a period of 5 years would be enough for me.

It would be great if any of you could give me a hint in the right direction! :-)

Thanks!
Many thanks for your answer dredude52!
By raw data I mean unprocessed data. Something like share values at opening and closing, trade volume etc.
Since I am very new to this stuff I am reading loads of information every day and learning new things every day.
Because of this I now also think that processed data might help me too. Stuff like you can see in Yahoo under ‘Key Statistics’ might also help me I guess.
Maybe I am naive but why isn’t this information open to all?
About storing the data – Excel is not an option. I am going for a true database capable of containing up to 4 Terrabyte so as far as I am concerned my harddrive is my only limit.
What I want? I would love to have the data in ASCII format, lets say as a text file with semicolon separation. As smaller the intervals the better, as longer the period of trading the better. I would be happy to get the data about few different companies. Any idea where I could buy such data? When it is not that expensive I might consider it

A: Number one, I’m not sure what you mean by “raw data.” You’ve given a lot of info here, exept defining your terms.

Number two, I don’t think you’re going to get intraday data for free, unless some kind-hearted individual gives it to you. From websites, forget it.

Number three, do you realize how much space a 1 min data file takes? I keep a few 1 min and 2 min files, mostly on the Dow, and other indexes, but only about 9 months fit in a Excel spreadsheet of 65,000 rows. That is a huge file of about 15 MB, and not even a whole year, just the data, with no formulas.

You can get tick data from the CBOT on CD, and this is “raw data,” exactly as it comes across the tape. But that 1 min data file is tiny compared to this one, and you’re going to have hell breaking it out into a useable format. It’s a programmer’s nightmare, from what I understand, and I was a programmer in a former life.

You’ve got to be more specific what it is you want, and decide on your time frames. Then you’re going to have to settle for what you can actually get, if you expect to get it for free.

Otherwise, you can get whole CD’s and reams of data, in a preferred format and time frame if you’re willing to pay.

Q: Where is the Stock Market Trading Transparency in Real Time?
The fact is that day trade shorting has a systemic flaw in that the clearinghouse or whomever is in charge of watching a stocks float doesn’t have to track the liquidity of shares traded short vs float available to short until the end of the day, giving some slime bags the ability to sell short naked, more than is humanly possible because the float won’t allow for it.

Therefore, there needs to be a circuit breaker and a real time monitoring system of the total amount shorted vs total float at any given moment for everyone to see. This amount should be published with the quotes so that everyone knows where they stand when they trade a stock. For example there could be the current float 5,617,433,211 vs short interest 1,628,133,080 and that should change real time every time someone goes short or buys back a short.

It is high time that the marketplace became more efficient, transparent and monitored better in real time. I have working knowledge of the fact that something like this could be easily implemented. Let’s face it, wouldn’t you want to know when all of the legal shorting is over so that you could pile in long?

For this to work, the entire float would have to be allowed to be shorted making this an efficient price discovery system as well. Also it would be a boon for brokers who make money in their stock loan department. In addition, this system would stop naked short selling which I believe is just mathematically wrong as there should never be more shares allowed to be traded in one direction and naked shorting allows for that absurd overselling thus allowing manipulation of a stocks price and should not be taken so lightly from regulators. Also loading up stock in a cash account, so that it can not be shorted has the opposite effect of driving a stock price up which is just as manipulative in my opinion. Trade only the float long or short and monitor it real time.

If this wouldn’t work, please explain why? If you think it would work, spread it around before they over regulate everything so that true discovery of pricing will be eliminated by legislation arbitrage.

legislation arbitrage creates a fake market price for all stocks. We all know what happens when falsity becomes reality, it is then only a matter of time until the house of cards collapses in on itself. This system would work fairly and would not allow naked shorting to manipulate, but rather would let the free market discover true price.

A: wow, you should really consider running for congress. you seem to know almost as much as our lawmakers!

of course, they’re all completely clueless…
