What market data providers are most prestigious and reliable on the market?
Author: I’m looking for information on providers of market data and have found some like Bloomberg, CNN, CBOT, Financial Times. But there must be others I don’t know and I also have no idea which ones are most prestigious and reliable. I would be grateful if someone can help me. Thanks a lot.
I’m looking for information on providers of market data and have found some like Bloomberg, CNN, CBOT, Financial Times. But there must be others I don’t know and I also have no idea which ones are most prestigious and reliable. They must be prestigious and reliable because we’re seeking for long-term collaboration relationship with them. There are changes on the world market every day and these changes can greatly affect the business of a corporation so the data of the providers must be up-to-date and they can be really secret and confidential – that’s what we want.
I would be grateful if someone can help me look for such providers. Thanks a lot.
My brother has been doing this over 20 years. All his work and discussions are proprietary, but he is paid very well.
It is expensive, but he says the BEST, by a long shot, is SAS.
