- ASK Research (Market Data)
Good site for the market basics in a fast, easy format: delayed quotes (real-times have a fee); intraday charts;and option chains. "Day trader" charts showing the big indexes at five minute intervals may bethis site's best feature. The portfolio tracker is nothing spectacular, but the improved quote function lets you select from and set eight tech analysis indicators for your chart display, which refreshes automatically. There's little original content here. The news link is to CBS MarketWatch.
