Does anyone have a recommendation for an on-line stock quote service that provides real-time streaming NASDAQ quotes for specified stocks?
It would be nice to find one that could pop up an alarm if a price target were hit.
Apologies for posting off-topic, but all the investing newsgroups I could find were full of gold mining and dot-com stock tips. :-(

I use E-Trade's "MarketCaster", but I have access to it because I have an E-Trade account. I don't know of any completely free and open real-time quote services, but then I haven't spent much time looking for one either.
I'll pay, within reason.
I don't know how up-to-the-minute this is and I don't know if you can set up alerts. But if you look at the very bottom of this page,
Also, if you use AOL's AIM instant messenger service, you can set it up to run a ticker. You don't have to subscribe to AOL to use AIM. Again, I don't know how up-to-the-minute it is or if you can set alerts.
My participation in the market is longterm, so I haven't found a need for something that keeps me abreast of the market intraday. So, with this message, I have exhausted the extent of my knowledge of online stock tickers.
Wait, one more thing: What about the NYSE and NASDAQ websites? Have you looked there?
Both are delayed at least 15 minutes or more.
