Does anyone know how to use a free desktop ticker (permanent type) to monitor spot price of Brent and WTI Crude Oil. Note:- I have no financial background. I am currently using a Google Desktop stock price "gadget" to monitor various share prices.

The easiest way to take a look at crude prices may be directly form the NYMEX.

Their website is NYMEX.com.

You can check out all commodities there.

You need a subscription if you want life feeds to your desktop.

If you have no financial background then it could certainly be worth your while to keep an eye on the latest developments in oil markets and track the underlying movements behind oil prices: Oil Prices and Oil News @ Oil Marketer
