<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Kohath,<BR><BR>Thanks for your response. I agree that both Dow
and CNBC leave a lot to be desired when it comes to breaking news.<BR>Actually,
when a news item appears on the Dow wire, it signifies the end of the play for
most daytraders :-)<BR>And it is truly a rare occasion when CNBC breaks an
original or exclusive news item. The best things about watching CNBC
though,<BR>are the "Joe Kernan" plays and the daily guest (company CEO's, etc.)
appearances. It is a sheer pleasure trying to anticipate which one of that day's
"hot stocks" Joe Kernan's going to mention in his regular segments and
participate in the lightning fast spike and the consequent and inevitable fade
that follows after even the briefest mention :-) Recently, Tom Costello is
gathering up a good following too. Shorting a guest's stock right at the instant
he shows up for the interview is also a very reliable play :-)<BR><BR>Anyway,
what I had in mind in my original query was company specific news (earnings,
warnings, mergers, deals, agreements, etc.)<BR>rather than general market moving
news, and no tv will be good enough for
that.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Levent<BR><BR><BR>-----Original

Re: Real Time News Service<BR><BR>Dow Jones is pathetic if you are looking for
real time news. So is CNBC. I<BR>use Bloombergs. Was anyone
watching when CNBC announced for the first time<BR>that MSFT's pres had said
technology stock prices are absurd. Bloombergs<BR>reported it 1 hour
before the market tanked! I don't know how many times<BR>CNBC get's Pisani
on there, saying, well, gee, the market tanked 2 hours ago<BR>because of
!!! From what I have heard the CNBC'rs have their money in Index<BR>Funds,
and Hate to announce any bad news. I used to watch CNBC, but
have<BR>recently changed to Bloomberg's and I think they are LESS biased to the
up<BR>side, still biased, but not so strong to the point they will
deliberatly<BR>delay or completly ignore bad news.<BR><BR>----- Original Message

Service<BR><BR><BR><BR>As a full-time private stock trader, breaking news plays
are very important<BR>for me.<BR>Unfortunately though, the "real time" news
headlines I get through my quote<BR>provider PC Quote is a total joke. Their
feed is through Comtex and Dow<BR>Jones, and there is always a delay of at least
5 to 20 minutes after the<BR>news actually breaks. The best resource I could
find on the web is<BR>Newsalert, they do a pretty good job and very
comprehensive and free, but<BR>even they are delayed by 2 to 5 minutes I would
say (where even a 1 minute<BR>delay means thousands of $$$). So my questions are
as follows:<BR><BR>What do the real professionals use as their news feed?
Reuters? Bloomberg?<BR>What are the costs associated with these? Does one need a
special terminal<BR>and dedicated feed? Are there any REAL real time resources
on the internet?<BR><BR>Thank you in advance for any info and/or

Does this mean DXY is going to break 99 today?
If it does it could really shake things up.
Still long ABX & AEM.
