Quicken Quotes Live Expands Financial Data and Information Service To Include Stock Option Quotes, Real-Time News, and NASDAQ Level II Data

Additionally, investors who use Quicken 2000 or Quicken 2001 can now take into consideration their complete financial picture by exporting their portfolio to Quicken Quotes Live for real-time analysis.

Quicken Quotes Live is the first truly affordable data subscription service to provide investors interested in actively monitoring the market with streaming real-time price quotes as well as sophisticated, real-time trading and analysis tools.

"With the addition of these powerful tools, Quicken Quotes Live offers investors a complete array of up-to-the-minute financial information delivered continuously to their PCs and empowers them to make better investing decisions."

Stock Option Quotes
Investors can now use Quicken Quotes Live to view detailed streaming trading information on all stock options available and can filter options by type, expiration month, or price.

Real-Time News Headlines
Quicken Quotes Live's real-time news headlines are now available from many of the most timely and accurate sources. These include: COMTEX Frontpage, IPO Monitor, Nelson's Broker Summaries, SEC Fillings, COMTEX Public Companies, (which includes PR Newswire and Business Wire), COMTEX Newsroom Top Headlines, COMTEX Financial Updates, and COMTEX Wall Street Custom Wire. With news stories and headlines delivered immediately to a PC, an investor can anticipate the markets' reaction and make smart, timely investing decisions.

NASDAQ Level II Data
NASDAQ Level II access on Quicken Quotes Live provides investors with the best bid and best ask for each market maker or ECN participant on a particular stock symbol, as opposed to simply the combined information of all market makers offered with Nasdaq Level I. Watching Level II data affords the individual investor the opportunity to see where these market makers are trying to steer the market and offers a more complete picture of market interest and movement than the typical actual last quote data provided by the Level I service. And now, Nasdaq level II is more affordable for the individual investor than ever as the exchange fee for the individual has dropped from $50 to $10 a month.

Investors who use Quicken 2000 or Quicken 2001 for Windows and Quicken Quotes Live can now export their portfolio from Quicken to Quicken Quotes Live. This makes it easy for investors to keep their bottom line up to date no matter which application they are in and eliminates the need to re-enter portfolio data.

Investor Notes
A new journal tool allows investors to enter notes, ideas or strategies about a particular security. The journal entries are automatically recorded with a date and time. Now investors who trade based upon news items or tips from colleagues have a place within Quicken Quotes Live to record and update thoughts such as price targets, articles, personal ratings and more.
