Thomson Reuters Datastream Direct

[fiftyfifty]

Has anyone any experience of Datastream Direct? Would you recommend it and roughly what does it cost?

Used to use it for econometric modelling etc. pretty hardcore number crunching. You'll find it used by a lot of analysts in banks for economic/industry reports etc.

There would be little point subscribing if you are the sort of day trader type staring at charts all day long, better to find a way to subscribe to research reports and leave it to the professionals instead

and its pretty expensive - I think I got a quote for around a couple of grand a month. That is off the top of my head though so dont hold me to it
