I've had a subscription, and you can get some detail on particular events when they happen in the market. But my overall take on it's insight is this: "a whole lot of nothing"
I cancelled about six months ago after being a subscriber for YEARS. You are correct. I was disenchanted with the move to all of the "pay" services on the side - that is why I was with RealMoney to begin with!!! It was like they were hitting me up for more and more to get the same content. I have learned to become self-sufficient, and have lost nothing from cancelling. I can find good commentary on Yahoo News, and Breifing.com for free. Good luck.
