I was initially attracted to Prophet because they offer historical equities
options data, which I was trying to research. They even tacked on a second
free month to the trial, but nothing about their service worked for me. I
really don't understand how a company that does nothing right manages to
stay in business. Guess somebody musta found something they like.
If you find a good source of options data, please let me know.
