Before a person goes for buying or selling shares, it is to be noted here that all the shares that are listed on ASX can be sold or bought by way of a broker only. Thus, apart from getting the price of any share, it is also important for a person to make contact to any broker, which can sell or buy shares on his behalf. The stockbroker thus acts as an agent.

There are many such brokers that provide current share prices. For example, a person can easily call at Sharecall, which provides updated share prices at any moment.
