I used it for a few months. It's not bad for the price. Main wires of interest to a stock news hound are PR and BW. They don't carry DJ or Reuters on Comtex. Only problem is that the stories on Comtex lag PR and BW by 3-15 minutes. Sometimes this lag is important and sometimes it's not. I now use Newsware. It's quicker and has a broader range of wires to chose from. In some ways, the software isn't as slick as the newsreader in RealTick III and some ways it's better. Just goes to show you; there's never a perfect choice.
