Funny you should mention that. My "From Scratch" column in RB Developer just 
spent three issues on building a stock quote fetcher using HTTPSocket and an XML parser. 
The stock feed came from NASDAQ. Unfortunatley, it looks like NASDAQ turned off their 
feed. So while the examples in the articles are still interesting, they don't work 
anymore. There is a way to get stock data in CSV format from Yahoo. I'm not sure what the 
link is but I bet if you hunt around you can find it.
