What’s your favorite stock ticker software for Windows? I’m thinking about cautiously getting back into the stock market and there are a bunch of fairly long term stable stocks I’m interested in monitoring. Can anyone help me out?

Reuters is a nice robust software but has a hefty (for someone who isn’t a broker or their assistant) subscription fee.

Honestly, the cheapass brokers I know 🙂 generally just check Yahoo Finance.

Well, I ended up installing the Yahoo widget Stock Ticker, so thanks for getting me to think about Yahoo Finance.
