Stock Price Charts

What`s the best online, real-time stock chart/news/quote service in terms of price/value?

I`m a beginning trader interested in getting a platform set up for daytrading/swing trading and have found Yahoo! Real-time stock quotes to be the cheapest at $15, but I`m wondering if this low price reflects a lack of quality in their services?

1. google, which is free
2. no, thats fine. but i would ask yourself if you really need a real-time quote tracker. if you are an english teacher in japan sitting around without much to do; the time you do have class you won't be able to follow the market in a fast enough way to pull off day trading. or, if you are free all day, there are still delays if you plan to do it via net. im not a computer whiz but they know your placing an order overseas by your server. you still won't get instant trades. its a bad idea. if you are a beginner i suggest not day trading. you need to master shorting technics and options to make it worthwhile all the broker fees you will incur!
3. tradingday.com and msnmoney.com forbes.com follow links. good luck
