Bob & Matt,

For the issues I'm trading, my broker's site is the center of my world. It gives me many of the tools I need for trading, from streaming quotes to real-time charts. I come to iHub from time-to-time and check out the current activities.

However, I have other holdings besides the issues I trade. For these, delayed quotes are a convenience. Back in the "old days" (before R/B decided they could waste my time with impunity), I liked the fact that I could see how these "investments" closed. Although I don't recall it ever happening, it gave me the sense that I'd know if something startling happened with one of them. It was, in other words, a comfort. It is worth noting that the comfort level was not enough to keep me at R/B after I was introduced to iHub.

In sum, I think delayed quotes are a neat feature and I'd like to see them on iHub ... but I probably wouldn't pay extra for them.

Cost is not the issue. I would pay more for my iHub membership if the additional charge were to help iHub meet the expense of running its business. But, if you asked whether I wanted to subscribe to a delayed quote service, I would probably decline.

Fred
