News Feeds

[alphahunter]

Could anyone recommend a few good subcription-based news feed providers, particularely geared to UK & European equities?

By that I mean UK RNS, German Ad-hoc, analysts downgrades/upgrades, results vs consensus/expectations etc,...
I'm not interested in EoD & analytic tools per se.

I currently uses various free websites (such as investegate.co.uk, ad-hoc-news.de,...) but:

a) this is laborious and time-consumming
b) the news are not streamed
c) it's far from being comprehensive.

In essence, I spend far too much time looking for info rather than analysing and acting on it.

Any suggestion from the venerable members of the forum? Thanks

Hi,
No suggestions? I mean surely some of traders here trade equities, not just futures and fx?

Upgrades/Downgrades/New price targets/Consensus estimates/previews are the bare minimum, but also key points from results (not just "beat eps, missed top line"), feedback from conference calls, highlights from strategy/investor days (like Nokia's pact with Microsoft today), possibly synopsis of analysts note (like SocGen on Insurance on Tuesday 08/02) ,...

I'm currently using free bits and bobs such as:
Ransqwack's, but the equity section is 80% geared to the US stocks whilst European/UK stocks' results are very much more often than not either not commented or commented late.

IG Index daily broker ratings, but the information is patchy, and certainly not in a usable format (unformatted pdf) and cannot be stored easily in a database (e.g "what are the current ratings on Heineken and when where they made?")

CNBC Europe 6am - 9am (used to be free on-line, but now free on Freesat from Sky or £5/m on the terminal), Bloomberg TV (European edition is very UK-centric, not as sharpish as CNBC)

Other source of free info, such as Digitallook, Finanzen,etc, and web crawling...This is time-consuming, hence could be more efficient.

The £1200-a-month for Reuters Eikon platform - for which I had an "induction course" - is a bit steep for me particularely since I would only be interested in the news section, not the analytics/charts,... But I could still consider it.

Any users here that could comment their equity news service?
Likewise for Bloomberg?
Likeweise for DJ News plus?

Could anyone comment on any other equity news providers - even if they're just repackaging other's feeds but provide them without the bells and whistles of the troika?

Come on guys, is that not a topic of interest for the forum?

I'll appreciate any feedback, suggestions, advice, comments, remarks,...
Thanks.

There is a good one, even better, it's free. Now the bad news: I upgraded all my computer gear over Christmas, and lost my bookmarks.

The name eludes me currently: it is something like Earnings.com.

It's particularly useful for daytraders, as, it has an announcements section, where corporations announce various tidbits, stocks on this, invariably move after the news is released.
