I would try to get a subscription to whatever service the Kodak Executives & Friends are using: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/10/investing/kodak-loan-pause/index.html Now, that's some fast news service for US Equities trading! AND, also have a subscription for a service to get you out, God forbid, the shit hits the fan: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrisc...odak-of-insider-trading-charges/#3c0ab5455919 Easy!!!
You can try Bloomberg or Reuters news services, if you can afford the 2 grand a month subscription. But again don't expect any miracle, the important market moving news are sent to the super wealthy clients first, on a very hush hush basis... Not even freaking Gordon Gekko can get them first, he is not rich enough.
The gold standards are Bloomberg and Reuters, but surprisingly CNBC with all the NBC bureaus is quite good as is Bloomberg TV.
Yeah right, you truly believe that your limit order would have been executed after such a sudden spike, news or no news?
Given that it was gradual buying for almost 10 minutes after the PR hit, and I can place a limit order in less than 5 seconds, my answer to your question is "obviously yes".
The pros usually fade the news (they simply use them to cash their chips). Look at the price action a few moments later, the stock (SGLB) lost more than 50% of its value. So much for "news"...
I know that SGLB faded. Doesn't mean there wasn't a scalp there to be had. PR involving new contracts with brand names in small caps often have a protracted volume move for a scalp. But I am not going to hold a swing long low float gapping up 80% with potential dilution.
