Hayward (Business Wire), September 27_eSignal, a division of Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC) and a leading provider of streaming, real-time financial market data and news, plus analysis and decision-support tools for professional and individual traders, announced the re-launch of its free financial website www.Quote.com. Acquired from Lycos, Inc. in the spring of 2006 and recently redesigned, the new Quote.com is a premier web-based global financial portal that provides quotes, charts, news, mutual fund information and a portfolio manager feature with email alerts. The website is free, with no registration requirements and no full-screen or pop-up advertisements.

"Active traders and investors want a data-driven financial website free from the clutter and distractions that slow their ability to locate relevant market information quickly and track it efficiently," said Chuck Thompson, president of eSignal. "With the new Quote.com, investors will appreciate more than ever the experience of a purely market-centered website that combines user-friendly features with one of the largest compilations of free global market data, trading tools and financial news available today."

On the new Quote.com, users will have free access to delayed worldwide quotes, charts and financial news covering major markets and over 51 exchanges, including NYSE, NASDAQ, the London Stock Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Market coverage extends beyond U.S. and international stocks to include a wide range of global futures, options and foreign exchange data from sources such as CBOT, CME, NYMEX/COMEX, ICE, Eurex and Euronext. Quote.com also provides feature-rich daily and intraday advanced charting with capabilities that include multiple studies, such as moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci and more. Other new features include Market "hot lists," SEC Filings from EDGAR Online, Inc., and market maker data.

Quote.com was one of the first financial portals created in the 1990s. eSignal plans to expand and grow this portal commencing with this important upgrade and will seek to strengthen its leadership position with the support of a full marketing launch.
