At the beginning of this month, NASDAQ announced that now they provide real-time stock quotes to Google (and some other media companies). Three weeks later, New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) also announced that now they provide real-time stock quotes to Google (and CNBC). Real-time stock quotes used to be quite expensive to subscribe. The standard stock quotes are normally 15 – 20 minutes delay.
Today, I am going to share how to use Google Finance function to display stock quotes on Google Docs. Since both NYSE and NASDAQ provide real-time stock quote, we can now create a document on Google Docs that shows real-time stock price. See also example of my stocks basket above.
How can we do that? It’s pretty straightforward.
- Create a new spreadsheet on Google Docs.
- Type in ‘=GoogleFinance("‘ followed by the stock ticker. For example, you can type ‘=GoogleFinance"GOOG")‘ to display the real-time stock price of Google.

It’s a doom day!
Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped to its lowest level since 2006. As I predicted last week, it finally dropped below 11,500. I should have written my prediction on this blog last week and become an "instant Wall Street analyst"… just kidding. 
According to Wall Street Journal, it is the worst June since Great Depression.

With the recent mass exodus from Yahoo! (TechCrunch mentioned 114 executives so far), someone has created a template for Yahoo! resignation letter. I am not working for Yahoo!, but it is quite fun to play with the template. You have check boxes where you can select the words for your resignation letter.
PS: I am actually quite sad to see the end of Yahoo! has to be like this. They used to be a very good company. They started one of the first search engines in the world. They were one of the most successful IPO companies in the dot-com era. They have made thousands of people become so rich. To be honest, I used to be a fan of Jerry Yang.
Well good luck for Jerry Yang and co.
Usually 350-001 and 70-290 professionals are not concerned with chat rooms. They seek careers in yahoo and google. The ones more likely to land jobs there are 70-649 and 70-270. The 646-204 candidates have bright chances too.
