Message: Finally! Barrier-free real-time quotes for Canadian stocks

We have great news today for Canadian stock market investors: CanadianInsider.com now provides free real-time quotes from Chi-X Canada. No login required.

At INK Research, we have built our business by trying to find ways to deliver value to investors, both institutional and individual. This new feature helps us deliver on that mission.

As you might know, stocks that trade on the TSX and TSX Venture Exchange may also trade on alternative trading systems (ATS). There are a number of alternative systems in Canada, and Chi-X is the largest, operating two platforms Chi-X and CX2. If you are not familiar with Chi-X Canada, you can find out more right here: http://www.chi-xcanada.com/ABOUTUS.aspx

Starting today, our company and ETF pages will display either the live last price from the Chi-X and CX2 trading systems or the delayed price from the TSX or TSX Venture, depending on which source is the most recent.

We have also added a great new feature to take advantage of this expanded quote coverage. When you are on a company or ETF page, click on the "Additional price/volume" link to see the most recent price and time we have from the three data sources.

Our live quote data would not be possible without the leadership shown by Dan Kessous who heads up a very hardworking team at Chi-X Canada. We are very grateful for their help in being able to provide their data on the internet in a transparent, easily accessible format.

For years, individual investors in US stocks have had easy access to real-time last price quote data on the Internet (including Canadian inter-listed stocks like Barrick Gold). In contrast, no Canadian website has been able to offer free real-time quotes without registration. Today that finally changes.

Please help us spread the word that Canadian stock investors now have quick and barrier-free access to some real-time data on Canadian stocks on CanadianInsider.com.

Thank you for your continued use and support of CanadianInsider.com. With any luck, this real-time quote enhancement will start a new era of broader access to real-time data for Canadian retail investors.
