Hi Dan, yes. I think most are powered by RTQ. RTQ offers the least of the visual reports, that is why I use many others for what each has to offer. Regards, Bill Fortune III

Question: I'm curious about the "News" section of the FNTN site. As was referenced by an earlier poster, the News section presents two selection boxes. The first selection box allows you to select an industry category -- this is pretty mundane stuff, you can do this at almost any financial site. The second column allows you to enter a News Topic, such as Merger Agreements, Contracts, Joint Ventures, Labor Issues, etc. This feature is unique, as far as I know. It is my understanding that FNTN is searching S&P's Comstock data using the decision tree that MS spoke of. Does anyone know if any other service allows you to find news articles by based on predefined News Topics. I know in some places you can search for standard topics such as Announced Splits and Mergers, but I've never seen a context sensitive search applied to S&P articles like this. Thoughts?
