Live Share Prices

Hi all,
I hope someone will be able to help. Is there anywhere I can see live share prices free. I have been using Shareprice but unfortunately for the last few days I can only get delayed prices.... Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Google has real-time prices for the LSE. For example, here's Vodaphone.

    Hmmm, that actually showed the share price for Vodafone.

    (I'd have added a smilie but they seem to be broken!)

    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    Shareprice.co.uk is no longer live pricing unless you trade with them once a month or pay for their premium service.

    This makes them no better, in fact due to lack of other things in many cases worse, than other free delayed services.

    I have asked them to delete my account (as I cannot find an option to do this on the site) and any data I would urge anyone else who chooses not to use them to do the same.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    Neither Google nor Yahoo have live prices, they both show the normal 15 minute delayed prices.

    For free live prices, go to www.advfn.com or www.moneyam.com (you have to register with both but there is only a charge for extended services).

    Google Finance certainly do have live prices. Go to http://www.google.co.uk/finance and set up a portfolio or just select individual shares

    Google has signed a deal with the London Stock Exchange to become the first major website offering private punters real-time rather than delayed share prices.



    Under the deal, Google Finance will publish live prices of any share on the London Stock Exchange and the Borsa Italiana.



    Up until now most websites targeting private investors have opted to use 15-minute delayed share prices, which costs considerably less than real-time prices.

    I had been mainly looking at indices, which are still delayed. Good to see individual shares are indeed now real-time.
