Google’s real time stock quotes aren’t evil

Official Google Blog
We’re very excited to tell you that real-time quotes on NASDAQ securities are now available on Google Finance. This is an important (and way overdue) development for everyone who consumes financial information. Historically, real-time stock data was not freely and widely accessible. Either buried behind subscription walls or brokerage sites, consumers typically had to live with 15 or 20 minute price delays. In the world of finance, time is indeed money, and it’s critical to have timely and accurate data.

This is decidedly non-evil.  But don’t let the information go to your head!  Day trading  will kill you with the commission fees.
