Importing stock prices live to excel?

Simple question: can it be done? I just want the current stock prices of various shares to go in to cells. Ideas? programs? addons?

Aaron, you don't have to go beyond your desktop for
a solution...

1. Choose the Data|Get External Data|Run Web Query...
menu command

2. Choose "Multiple Stock Quotes by PC Quote, Inc.iqy"
form the Run Query list and press [ Get Data ]

3. On the "Returning External Data to Microsoft Excel"
dialog press the [ Parameters... ] button, press the
2nd radio button labelled "Use the following value:",
enter your desired stock symbols and press [ OK ].
