How do I turn off Streaming Quotes?
The Help Page, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/quotes/fi... says there is an option on the Gear Icon, but I only see Account Info (which just redisplays the current page with a different URL), Help, and Suggestions. I recall the option being there before, but it is now gone. What can I do to stop it?
This seems to have started at the same time that they added the Brokerage Sync option.
I have looked for the 'blue gear' but it is no longer on the page. IIRC, it was where the 'Start Syncing' is now displayed. I have made a screen shot to show what I see. If you see a blue gear that I've missed please point it out.
I think I solved it. When the Brokerage Sync ad first showed up I was redirected to this URL:
https://portfolios.finance.yahoo.com/portfolio/pf_...
I reselected my portfolio from the menu and I went to the original URL:
http://finance.yahoo.com/portfolio/pf_2/view/v1
Now the Brokerage ad is gone and the option for Streaming is back. Other than the unnecessary frustration caused by this redirect, I am now back where I want to be.

Hi B,
I can certainly understand your confusion as there are two gears on any of the quotes pages. The purple one at the far right (which appears on every Yahoo! page and is for your account - not the property you're on) and the blue smaller one that is right over the summary information in the center (but to the right) of the page. If you click on the blue one, you'll see the on/off option.
Hope that helps!
