For one, it only needs to parse the text once - when you save the post - not everytime the page loads. Second, data transmitted for a stock quote is quite small. And Third, we designed the plugin so that the stock quote loads only after the rest of the page - so it won't slow down your page or site. Usually this happens within milliseconds of the page load...

This is the type of value added service that makes a big difference to bloggers. Users have grown accustomed to this type of contextual stock information because large financial websites provide them. So as an independent blogger, you have to match what the market offers despite the lack of resources that large financial publishing houses possess. This is one more way to level the playing field. I would use it on both my English and Spanish language blog: www.DINEROyCREDITO.com and www.YourMoneyWeekly.com. This would allow you to see the results in both languages. My SPanish language blog is popular with U.S. Hispanic audiences. Both provide readers with independent, practical financial information. Excellent solution!
