--Benzinga---i don't even know what that is..looks childish. judging by response time(when you click on whatever on that site)-childish +1
at least briefing was around for decades and provide their news and commentary over many financial websites\network.

news feeds(just like everything else) are depend on your goal. what are you looking for?

just clicked on downgrades-most of them are 2 days old. there is over 130 upgrades\downgrades for today morning only. where are they on your benzinga?

Benzinga is a total joke. Recycled garbage full of useless advertising. I challenge anyone to find something useful on that site.

I use TradetheNews.com and BenzingaPro.com (which is different than just Benzinga.com)

I switched from Briefing to Benzinga Pro about 3 months ago. Here's why;
- Audio sqauwk between 7am & 5pm
- Better rumors
- They are consistently faster on the feed
- Better pricing
- I made more money

I kept Trade the News because it offered more over night coverage. I also use Pro for their economic calendars.

They do not have great research however and still lack on some of the data, Briefing did a better job on that. But, I made more money with Benzinga Pro.

can you give any specific examples of how benzinga enabled you to make more money? i'm not a benzinga hater, but i would like to hear a bit more about why benzinga is worth it. you make it sound promising, but how do i know that these aren't just lofty claims that benzinga cant actually live up to?
