Does anyone out there know of a dial-up source for obtaining daily stock, bond, mutual fund, and/or stock option prices? I'm looking for something that can be used as an alternate source for looking at stock prices for those of us that don't get the Wall Street Journal or for those who don't get the Wall Street Journal delivered until late afternoon.... Thanks Russ!!!

In response to Russ' question about dial-up stock market info: Both CompuServe and GEnie have sections that provide stock market quotations an and other information. You can also - at great expense - subscribe directly to Dow Jones.

Supposedly Prodigy does too and has some kind of on-line brokerage. Having never used this I'd like to hear how that service compares to something like Charles Schwab. How do commission fees compare and what about the range of services?

Being new to the PC world, i would like to know if any of the major vendors like Compuserve, GEnie or prodigy offer full stock quotes which i can download at the end of the day . I am talking all stocks trading not the important 200 or 300. Do they also provide a way to look at news on companies ?? I am talking little bit old news. I am aware that to get news instantanesously, ishould subscribe to the DJ News service. nataraj/.

If you have access to a cable TV system, you can buy a box put out by a company call X-Press. This box outputs a 9600 baud feed that is pulled off a subcarrier associated with (I think) WTBS. You pay for the box (~$100-$130) and the access is free with other cable services. They also offer a plug-in module for the box that gives you access to additional data, but there is a monthly fee for this. The "free" service includes AP wire stories, stock quotes (updated 3 times daily and sent out periodically). along with other selected market infomation. Also there are weather, cultural, and other news feeds that are available. The enhanced service purportedly provides continuous stock quotes and access to additional news sources. Contact your local cable company for more information. -- Bruce Stephens bruce@hp-pcd.cv.hp.com

No per minute fees, no access charges. Also, Dow Jones has a $25/month flat fee for people who want current and historical quotes but only from 21:00-07:00 (or some such). /\/\ \/\/ -- Michael R.
