I thought this was cool.
The New York Stock Exchange has made real-time price data available to the public free of charge via Google and CNBC. So if you’re in to stocks but not in to paying for real time pricing you can follow along at either of the two sites. Google and CNBC are picking up your tab by paying the NYSE for the right to publish real-time data.
A sample here (fyi, I don’t hold any positions in MSFT).
The Case Shiller Housing Price Index fell 15.3% year over year (yoy) last month, the largest drop in the survey’s existence. The biggest losers continue to lose big, with markets such as San Diego, Miami and Las Vegas posting the largest gains. Every market in the 20-market survey lost over the past month (edit: meant “year” clearly, as I said that in the first and last sentences, but thanks for the lambasting Bill). Charlotte was the “winner” with only a .12% decline in prices yoy.
