News providers...worth the cost?

I listen to Bloomberg in the morning and I've been thinking about maybe getting a seperate news provider. Are they worthwhile? What's the range in cost? Do you subscribe to anyone? What's your review?

I checked out marketnews.com (a Bloomberg advertiser) and was impressed with their free briefs on their page....they even had an article about rumors that John Snow may be stepping down which isn't something my broker provided (which usually just econ news and market activity).

You could try a saxobank demo, then you get marketnews, dow jones and afx for free. One disadvantage, if you give your phonenumber when you subscribe, a representative will call you and won't stop calling you until you pick up the phone :

Don't they all! I signed up for a Coes FX demo on Wed. and have gotten about 5 calls already. One at 9:45pm. If you "mislead" with the phone number though they are getting wise and will turn off the demo.

I never give my real number, usually the number of the whore house down the street instead.

Ah so that's where the traders hang out. Oh i did not say that, my bad.

Well, there's probably more satisfaction to be had there than in trying to analyse someone else's analysis.

Personally, I just watch patterns on my screen, and occasionally check when announcements are coming out.

even i don't trade the news, i read them; I use for this feed from actionforex, wich are free, and ff News Trading Room forum

dont trust any one

they all use " maybe "

u can use it 2

go with ur own way

news providers were valuable couple months ago. Now, it is better to use a free source and ignore the spike BECUZ U WONT GET IN!

I highly doubt that.
