Stock Ticker tape site or program

I have a friend getting DSL and he's into stocks so I am looking for a website that has a ticker tape running (I could use "Active Desktop" to view) or a Stock Ticker tape program to run.

Any ideas?

Most of the free sites or programs are going to have a 20 minute delay on the stock prices.

Does he have an online stock broker? Usually they have a real-time java applet to display selected stocks and their prices.

One site I have used is:

http://www.thomsonfn.com/

Go to "Portfolio" at the top and sign up for "WealthTracker". It's not a ticker tape display but most people prefer this type of java display for watching stock prices. But real-time quotes aren't free, at this site they're $9.95/month. There may also be an additional $3-$4/month exchange fee.

Another site for real-time quotes is http://www.money.net/ which gives you more for a little more money.

I highly recommend scottrader.com, it's free to register and you can put 10 stocks on your ticker tape, and it's real time
