[GNC] getting price quotes

[David T.]

I believe that AlphaVantage is the "default" simply because it is alphabetically first in the list. And it is included because it is still possible for users to use it, albeit with significant restrictions (that have been imposed after the original implementation).

It is not wise to read significance into these circumstances.
