Is Benzinga Pro actually real-time?

Can check on this tomorrow

@FTDK By no means I am challenging your statement. I probably could never subscribe to Bloomberg as it sounds expensive for someone like me. But on May 20th I saw this.
At 11.57 on May 20 twitter news broke with a headline "News pending Risk here time to sell". It was then followed by another tweet at a minute later that senate passed the chinese corp delisting vote.
Between 11:57 and 12:02 ES was trending up from 2962 and reached 2966 peak at 12.02. I had a full 3 -4 minutes to react and was infact surprised to see it trend up. I didn't short ES as I assumed I would be taking countertrend risk and passed the opportunity. It was a costly pass in hindsight. Wondering why market took so long to react. Infact BABA sell off was delayed too. The sources that I have access to via IB and TD Ameritrade headlines were late in broadcasts. I couldn't get the timing for those sources now but getting time from twitter is fast.
I would be curious to find when top of the line news breakers like Bloomberg reported the news.
Thank you.
 
I am using a version of Livesquawk provided by a 3th party, so i have access to the live squawk feed but only can access news headlines from the past 24 hours or so.

That is why i am unable to give any examples now. If there are any next week i will post them here.

To give details would result in particulars of excessive length. DMs always open.
This is a great list. Thanks for sharing.
 
Any news other than economic releases. Here my offer, name a recent event and I provide you with the exact timestamps of each service, Twitter, Bloomberg, and Eikon. I have access to all three.
Can you provide the timestamp on the recent NNDM offering? On benzinga I see it as 8:42:41 on May 20.

I already checked it on twitter also 8:42 (Doesn't say in seconds so I don't know if it's more reliable or not.)

Just discovered the same challenge. Twitter does not post time stamps beyond minute precision for historical tweets on web nor mobile. Would need the API for that and do not feel in the mood to do so over the weekend. I can look into it next week though. There is no point to compare on the basis of minute precision.

For what it's worth, bbg for the first time mentioned about the NNDM offering on May 20 at 12:42:08pm UTC.

At 6:55:26pm UTC on May 19 bbg posted a tweet by Reuters that Nasdaq informs Luckin Coffee it plans to delist it. Again, it first came out on Twitter, posted by Reuters. Would need to check whether Reuters posted it first on its own Eikon or on Twitter.

At 4:46:34pm UTC on May 20 bbg for the first time posted a tweet by CNBC about the senate passing the bill.

I certainly hope for those who are paying huge amounts for their special news services to get the advantage over their Twitter feed :D.

Curious to see the comparison!
 
Unfortunately I can't compare right now as tweets per Twitter policy on mobile and web only show with Minute precision. But on the cased I looked up on bbg just now I have already shown that Twitter was way faster. Bbg did not even consider the bill passing in the senate a "hot news" which I found surprising. The Luckin news by Nasdaq also had quite some market impact.

I certainly hope for those who are paying huge amounts for their special news services to get the advantage over their Twitter feed :D.
