Question: The Yahoo Finance Quote?
The Yahoo Finance has Real-time Quote and Last Trade Price.
What is Real-time Quote ?
If someone is going to buy/sell a stock, the trade will be executed at real-time quote or last-trade price ?
Answer: It is actually traded likely at neither of those prices. The last trade and real time should be pretty close to accurate - in fact I believe that the real time just updates the last trade more quickly.
As for what you pay for it - it is an "open market" so you will pay what someone else is willing to sell it for, because there are soooooo many people who own each stock, generally the last trade is pretty close to what you will actually pay, but you could pay more or less based on what the next person to sell is willing to sell for.
