I hear someone needs a geek? LOL

The e-4 is an exponential notation. It means to take the first part of the number, 1.00 in this case, and multiply it by 10 to the power of -4. This is the same as dividing by 10 to the fourth, which is dividing by 10,000.

An easy way to do this is just to move the decimal point by the number specified in the expontential. In this case, move it four places to the left.

1.0000e-1 means 0.1
1.0000e-2 means 0.01
1.0000e-3 means 0.001
1.0000e-4 means 0.0001

I assume this is a price in dollars, so this is 1/100 of a cent.

That's commonly called scientific notation and is used to express small (or large) numbers. However, I don't see it - it looks normal to me. QuoteMedia recently made some changes to their displays. Looks like there may still be a few bugs. Have you tried using ADVFNs quotes? They're in the second line of the menu bar.
