To Mike and all investors I don't think it is right for the exchanges to charge for real-time data. Shouldn't the stock exchanges make available to investors free real-time data rather than 15 to 20 minute delayed? Seems to me, if someone wants to price a stock, he/she should be able to get a current prices without having to pay exchange fees. There are lots of quote providers that would give the quotes to investors if the exchanges would make the data available. The interest of the exchanges should be to investors and to public companies that trade on the exchanges. The restrictions on real-time data keeps investors who don't pay the exchange fees uninformed of latest prices on stocks. Why should the exchanges have the right to charge for current prices of stocks? An investor should have the right to see a current price without having to pay. Don't you think? Please consider the practice of the exchanges withholding real-time data from investors. If you agree with me, e-mail the Securities and Exchange Commission, consumer advocate groups and anyone that might help in ending the practice of the exchanges charging for real-time data. James
