Sorry, I guess I didn't make that quite clear. My program is going to update every x seconds, but I want to have the bind option to go to the Yahoo page of the stock itself. I never personally used that option, but I believe that Yahoo has links to news for the company if you went to Yahoo Finance and looked for GE for example.

And I do remember looking at that discussion when it appeared, but I'm sort of cheating. Yahoo has an option to download a CSV of a list of stocks you pick, so I'm grabbing that and then parsing out what I want from there. I'm not worried about things hanging because I'm doing the rewrites myself after fetching the CSV.

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
