I did try the free trial last year, but was not convinced enough to commit
at that time. It looks like the software may have expanded considerably
since then. I may even go for the introductory 3 month option since it does
not impose a price penalty, and it gets credited against a future purchase
of the whole kit.
Given the additional (fundamental) data included in the BodhiOne database
format, I was thinking it would be very nice if AB supported the format
directly via a plug-in, including the fundamental data. Since Tomasz has
released a MarketCast plug-in (it will be long time indeed until I can
justify $135/month for that feed), perhaps BO might be in the running...
Decisions, decisions...
Thanks again for your input Graham.
Regards,
Mark
