It’s frustrating to have access to the Internet and not be able to get real-time quotes from the NYSE and NASDAQ.  They always are delayed for 20 minutes.  I know I could buy an app that would give me real-time quotes but didn’t feel like plunking down the money, it just wasn’t that important.  Until now…CNBC Real-Time delivers real-time quotes, before, during and after market hours for FREE.  Thank you!

The app delivers a lot more but that is a big start.  Basically this is what you get.

• Live, streaming real-time stock quotes and charts.
• CNBC breaking news and news alerts.
• CNBC exclusive video (over 150 clips per day).
• Unique stock watchlists – create your own stock list(s) and follow stocks featured on CNBC.
• Market data including pre-markets, Dow impact, global stock indexes and currencies.

I downloaded this app yesterday, created a watchlist of items in my Roth IRA (not much for now) and while I was in the dentists office today followed breaking news and real-time quotes.  I better be careful or I’ll turn into a day trader…blogging is much safer!

So, check out CNBC Real-Time and let me know what you think.  Is it as good as a paid app?
