The Stocks Channel
Sherlock's Stocks channel lets you get stock quotes, news headlines and stories, and charts for stocks. You enter the company name or ticker symbol and put Sherlock to work. It retrieves the information and displays it in the Stocks window.
Tip- Although the stock quotes are delayed 15 minutes, they are constantly updated as long as the Stocks window is open.
