Yeah, looks like AJAX.

While not real time, I hate reading a news article written a few hours ago, seeing a price, and then having to go check the ticker to see what it’s sitting at now. It’s a definite improvement.

I honestly don’t understand what’s so hard about “real-time” quotes, Yahoo provides them for free anyway (you just have to click another link for it). Even a minute old quote is better than TWENTY minutes.

Not real-time though, so its kinda annoying have delayed quotes. Of course, an investor shouldn’t really care about day to day movements in the first place.
