Is this correct? Do you have a source for this information?
I am comparing the free Reuters feed which comes with IB vs. Xenith Reuters. Think it is on a completely different level. More comparable to Bloomberg.

All the news you mentioned are not really news outlets but rather adding own content on top of news. They employ a few journalists who write stories on a few companies that's it. There are only three major news services in the western world, Bloomberg News, Reuters News, and Dow Jones News. The full cables of the former 2 are quite expensive though Reuters less so than Bloomberg. I use the Global Economics tape of Dow Jones News and find it to be extremely well tailored to traders. It covers everything the other news outlets do but also some specialist coverage on commodities and currencies that I find somewhat inferior in Reuters and Bloomberg. A comprehensive news feed with Dow Jones costs about 150-200usd per month. If you can't afford that then Briefing dot Com sells a pretty good feed for 99 but somewhat limits itself more to US equity markets. Did I forget to mention Twitter? Many well timed trades I placed this year off Trump comments onTwitter.
The ones you mentioned are crap imho. Before you choose any you should ask yourself what you need this exactly for. All mentioned feeds only make sense when you trade on news. For research and analysis you don't need those.
I subscribed to the Dow Jones Institutional news from Interactive brokers for $215/month - I'm not really sure how to use it though.
Does anyone know if it blinks or notifies when breaking news comes out (similar to bloomberg)? if anybody has any experience using this would appreciate your help as IB support has been impossible to reach.
