How can I create a stock ticker that tracks our company's stock price (and perhaps the DJIA and NASDAQ), and update every 20 minutes?
 
You will need perhaps Java to do this. I have seen a book called
Java2 from scratch

which takes you thru developing exactly that, a stock tracker. It helps you develop a program, not an Applet, which will log in an retrieve stock data, then graph it.

It depends on where the source of the information will be coming from. Do you have it in a database? Does someone manually enter it every 20 minutes?

There exist Java and JavaScript programs available from various places which give stock market info. Do a search.
