I never understand why they charge insane amount for stock quotes. A while back, I had an idea around stock trading. After some digging around, I found out it costs thousands per month for 20-minute delayed quotes, that pretty much killed my idea.
- irrelative 18y agoI agree that it sucks, but it makes sense from their perspective. Frankly, they could charge that much, and people and financial institutions would pay for that data. Find me a business where you have a natural monopoly that isn't regulated, and you don't milk it for all it's worth. They're just too lucrative not to profit from it, and frankly I'm surprised that even now Yahoo has made it free.
