When it comes to breaking releases, hot flashes, etc., my feeling is that Dow Jones usually gets the news first. Most companies feel that news is 'fairly' and publicly desseminated if given to Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg. When it comes to quality of news stories, etc. I think Bloomberg is best. Overall, if I had to choose, for position trading, perhaps Bloomberg, for daytrading, dow jones. or better yet, as we do, get all three! They are usually add on and thus additional cost services for most internet quote services. I don't think its cheap. I know what we pay for 'additional terminal entitlements' but thats not what you would pay. I dont know exactly what Dow Jones or reutrers or bloomberg costs to add into your quote provider. I would assume atleast a hundred or two for each.... Regards, Steve@yamner.com
