I honestly don't recall it being brought up, but I might have had the new forum software section blocked or something.

No, it's not necessary but I think it's a great idea.  It would be a nice thing to be able to see what the price is when I'm posting in Speculation.  I don't check preev all that often and I find that I have to before I write something speculative.  Not all suggestions have to be necessary in order for them to be good, and I think this is a good one.

Sure, why not?  Unfortunately it's not up to us plebians, but Theymos--and I don't know anything about the forum's software and how difficult it would be to implement a ticker.  I do hope he considers it.
