I believe that Wolfram gets its financial data from Yahoo. It is likely that any free data you find will be delayed by at least 15 minutes. Mathematica can be connected to live data sources such as Bloomberg (see the Mathematica link to Bloomberg at http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/7357/ for example), but these services will cost money unless you are affiliated with an institution that has a site license. The general form of a dynamic data call will probably be something like Dynamic[Refresh[Refresh[dataloadingfunction[]],UpdateInterval->whatever]] Hope that helps, -stern On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 1:13 AM, Jimmy S.
