well, it's quite easy.
use an rss feed + the rss-module.
You can choose how often the module should refresh and output the content to a blocl
That's it!

The RSS-Module is part of drupal core!
Just activate it in your module section!

there is a module named aggregator that i have enabled it. this is for showing rss on the page.
i do not want to show the rss , my site is
futureofstock.com/ it is related to stocks. so i was asking you about showing the current stock price of each company and get updated every second as is on finance.yahoo.com
i am attaching the snapshot , tell me where is the rss module, i can't see any rss module, yes there is a module named aggregator but i think that is for showing rss news. right?

the prices get added to my database with a cron job
there are probably lots of ways to do this though.
