The collective clownery at the ASX continues to fall over its left feet. The ASX cannot explain the necessity of having a 20-minute delay in providing update share prices to private investors using third-party information platform providers.
The 20-minute delay works for information providers buying the ASX trade data and on-selling it. But why do investors need to suffer such a delay in seeing updated prices? Surely that trade delay could be just one to two minutes, providing investors with more of a feel for which way markets
are moving – especially in volatile times.
