I found a Stock Ticker implementation over on StefanOnSharePoint's blog. He implements a timer job code originally published by AC. We have something similar at the company I work at; however, we pull the stock data directly from within the webpart. Stefan proposes updating a custom list with unlimited number of stock quotes and using a "simple data view" to display the results.
