The poor economy has left many people with problems paying their property taxes. Once property taxes are unpaid for a certain length of time they are sold.

When Internet was a far-fetched reality, stock brokers relied on the trading platform, i.e. the trade floor to take a quick look of the most active stocks or live stock quotes. Investors relied on stock brokers to get the latest stock quotes including information on hot stocks. The television channel did provide some relief by carrying news and information on the same, but not as frequently as programmed today. The scenario is no more the same.
