Just curious. What makes Bloomberg the "best" news service? What are some specific examples of how it makes you more money than Dow Jones?
If you just order one terminal, its more than $1200 and it doesn't include all the fees. I pay extra for all the feeds.
I am using Briefing.com at home and have found that it is not LIVE News. It calls its news LIVE HEADLINES and basically you get the news after the fact. This is definitely not in a League with Reuters or Bloomberg. Good commentray though! Riskless
Help me out here! Am I missing something. I had my system set up this morning for the numbers and they did not come in until well after the Reports were known to all. Maybe I am missing something! Most people want to be geared on the News at 8:45 or whatever and see the report immediately. I hope this is available, but I am not seeing this. Any help would be appreciated! Riskless
TradeTheNews.Com (TTN) is a site designed specifically for active traders. The goal is to give you directed information on what is going on that will affect certain individual stocks, groups of stocks, or the entire market. TTN focuses on alerting the active trader to what is going up/down right now AND preparing the active trader for very specific upcoming events over the next few minutes, hours, or days Right off there webpage. This is the best I have ever heard in 4 yrs, because he has all sources and then some. We use this in are trading room and I have many friends that use him also. He is a little expensive but you will recover your cost. It comes right out the speaker of your computer If you are that serious about news and numbers check out the website http://www.tradethenews.com/
I think my comments about news sources are not in the same league as the rest of the folks here, but you can go to Briefing.com, and hit on their Live (free) economic calander. Gets the news faster than CNBC and Bloomberg free broadcast stuff, but I'm very sure it's not nearly as fast as say the Bloomberg terminal.
