does anyone know how they retrieve real-time data to be displayed in stock
tickers?

It depends where you getting your data from, if you getting it from a server
then you will have to check with the adminstrator, you may be able to connect
to it through RMI or CORBA or any other distributed technology. if you just
getting your informatioin from a web page you can read the HTML and parse
it to extract the data you are interested in.
I hope this will help.
