Here is a stock ticker I made for one of my projects. It's a horizontal scrolling ticker that allows registered site users to choose which stocks they would like to see. Stock information is gathered from yahoo finance. The admin defines the stocks to make available. For unregistered users or users who have not specified a favorites list it will show the default list of ticker symbols. User favorites are defined in a JS form which appears in a DHTML popup. It's essentially a mashup of a bunch of different scripts adapted for Joomla 1.5. The only unique thing here is the ability for users to pick which stocks they see. The module is ready to go and install in Joomla 1.5. Tested with Joomla 1.5.3 but should work for any 1.5 installation.

This component will almost certainly not fulfill your needs straight away. For instance in my version the 'Written by' name actually draws its name from the meta description stored in the database.
The articles load as an array of associated lists. This makes it incredibly easy to access each articles information. All you have to do is pull up phpMyAdmin find the column you want to access and create a variable with a value of
$variable = $article['column_name'];
The biggest weakness of this component, besides not being a full copy of the native joomla category blog layout, is the pagination. The pagination does work, however it's just a basic workaround to get the functionality.
Have fun hacking this one up.
