Trade the News or Bloomberg?

I'm looking for a fast and reliable news feed. Something I can listen to and hear what's going on in the markets, but isn't as expensive as TradetheNews...

What are my alternatives for all of you hardcore news junkies?

Trade the News is $40/month for text I believe. That should do just fine so long as you are not interested in spike trading. Another option would be Dow Jones, most stock brokers give you that feed for free.

IFR is also a good source (from what I have read) and you can get that with brokers such as CoesFX and FXCM. Also, AFX news is decent and you can get their service with brokers such as Oanda and ODL.
The market is my nation. Traders, my family. Hello, brothers and sisters!

Hey,

I'm using NewsStrike. It's free and they read off US announcements as the stuff comes in. It's been awesome - lightning fast. The downside is that they don't do any EUR or UK announcements. But, they do a good job. Oh, did I mention it's FREE.
