You're not technically trading the index price that is delayed anyway you would have to trade an ETF linked to its performance. It's live on TD Ameritrade since the live feeds are for those who pay for them and the free rates are delayed. So if you go through your brokerage account they likely pay for the live feed and you can get it there. If you Google it then you'll get the free delayed quote. my complaint is the free live quote is available if you instead google the derivative that tracks the ETF. if it's that easy to quote the ETF it's just as easy to quote the index. it's a minor but illogical inconsistency unless you ascribe to the belief that the purpose of anything like this is to milk retail investors for $$$ Dude you're having a melty over something very petty. Index providers don't have to provide their values live unless people pay for it. They aren't tradable they just track a basket of stocks. The ETFs that track it do because they are actively traded. I mean if you're looking to trade an index then look at the ETFs that track it since that's what you're going to trade anyway. I mean if you're trading it then your brokerage likely has the live feed of all indices already so look it up through them. --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. <cite>SK8T3R215 posted [p:897218923] in The most b...
