The module is great, looks good and does what it says. however, their support is more than excellent. It's really the best support I have found.
I tried them all, free and commercial, and I ended up always not satisfied with the result. Until Cristi came up with his new version of the module and bingo. It simply is the best and the only real option to have stocks on the page. It works out of the box, but it also allows to work on the css to have the result you need.

Support is just as good: when I had a particular need and threw in a suggestion, Cristi came up with a .1 version of the module two days later, adding the feature.

The module works by itself and in combo with the component, which is so rich in possibilities and features that I could not believe my eyes when I first installed it. It allows to build a real finance page around it.

Job well done
For stock market data this is by far the best extension I've encountered. It's easy to install and configure, and has a broad selection of variables. I'm also very pleased with support.

Thumbs up!
This is the only good ticker module out there so look no further!

If one thing is great about this module is its support. I had emailed support about problems I was having and they were quickly solved and the bug fixed instantly!! This is a developer who cares about his products. A+++
