I'm curious; where you using this feature? Why was Google Finance better than the alternatives? I've kept an eye on Google Finance for a while and it doesn't appear to have received any updates for a long time. The stock chart still requires Flash, for example.

My memory may be faulty, but I think google finance had real time quotes when yahoo and most everybody else had a 15-minute delay.

Nope, 15 minute delay like almost everyone else.

No, Google had real-time data (as they had an info message confirming that displayed on most tickers). Someone in your link also comments on that.

My apologies: turns out the delay is only in Canada for TSE listed stocks and does not apply to US exchanges such as NYSE, NASDAQ, etc.

tradingview is pretty great for charts. Although doesn't have the news component, i guess.

Bottom right-hand corner of every chart has a "headlines" window. Might not be amazing but it is there.
