Phil,

I like the idea of a quote stamp on messages. However, I do have a few concerns about how it might work.

1) How would the quote be presented? It is difficult to have real-time quotes displayed to anyone due to exchange regulations. In fact, any quote less than 15-20 minutes old would be considered real-time. Assuming the quote stamp was a delayed quote, would we display the most recent delayed quote at the time of the posted message, or wait 20 minutes before posting the delayed quote? If we have to wait to post the quote, is it still useful?

-- For those of you who haven't gone through the real-time application process, click on the Free RTQ link on the SI homepage :) --

2) Would it create too much vertical space for each message?

3) What would be included other than the price, and change for the day?

John
