We're sorry, Derek, to hear of Equis shortsightedness.
Equis' decision to further alienate the customer base in favor of
receiving kickbacks is yet another notice to users that "user's
interests" are not high on the corporate priority list. Quotes Plus is
a wonderful, reliable data service that delivers 10,000 accurate stock
prices and indexes in under a minute via internet for less than $12 a
month. It is a service that deserves high praise and Equis' support.
In effect, what Equis is doing is raising the cost of using their
software and hiding the extra cost from its users by forcing data
providers to pony up some bucks, forcing the data providers to pass the
kickback along to their customers.
But, Equis knows well about the gold in them "data hills". For years
Equis has charged $10 monthly plus a long-distance telephone cost to
users of Technician for about 39 items of data each trading day. Quotes
Plus charges less than $12 for over 10,000 items including most of those
39 items and it is telephone toll-free.
I get that the purpose of Metastock is to sell data for which Equis gets
a kickback.
