1. Reuters
2. Bloomberg
3. Telnet
all of the above are necessary as is CNBC
at times they have the news first
I have a CNBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, & Telnet
the later 2 from a friend who calls at once when I have an interest or
position
the Bloomberg will be here next month.
the broad tape is the Dow Jones news service which is carried on Bloomberg &
Reuters ( to some extent)
in the old days the Dow Jones news service was on a paper tape ( a wider one
than the tape of the ticker of the NYSE)
