There was a company I check into that has a service called pocket quote.
You would by the receiver (whick looked just like a ti calculator) for
around $300. then you subscibe to their service for around $200 a year.
it allows you to receive 15min delayed and also allows you to program
certain stocks into the unit to constantly monitor so that you would
always have the latest for those stocks... it also would display news
alerts for those stocks..
