Charles, you're right, of course, FQ has it all over them on price. I posted before I looked closely at the details. Their $10.95 header is only bait for a much more expensive service. In addition to quotes, they do have a daily commentary feature, which I assume to be part of the enhanced-FQ (although probably better because it's generated by TNI-Neuropro with specific advise on in-and-out points)& they have newslinks, which, I think, is also coming on FQ. Like FQ, they are also promising expansion to European markets, but don't mention Mexico. The portfolio feature offers similar tracking to FQs (though, unlike FQ, the portfolio doesn't allow valuation and the stock lists are kept on the server rather than one's home machine, which raises a privacy issue for me). And, although I don't want to reopen the real-quotes vs active-quotes discussion on this thread the comparison of products raises that issue again.
Still, it strikes me that were looking at a real competitor for FQ. It's first one I've seen that has so many feature-to-feature similarities. While price is always a great way to compete so is quality. I assume Richard and Dion are up to the challenge.
