Peter is right. Real time stock steams are very expensive. I work for a
company which sells stock analysis software, part of which is a live
charting application. The data for this costs upwards of $10 000 per
month. However, I believe that Yahoo! provides a delayed stock quote
web service (You won't be allowed to use it for professional purposes,
though) which you can use via some simple scripting.
