    Just wondering where do all ye guys get your up to the minute company news?! Like if a company has Q1 results out in the morning or news like the governments over subscribed bonds, where can i find this info without havng to wait till 10am to hear them. By that stage SP would have moved significantly and the boat would be long gone :rolleyes:

    thanks

    You'd need to pay a subscription service for the up to the micro second news in order to trade it like you mention. Expensive.

    A high percentage of traders do. I'd imagine it to be in the 80/90's.
    However, there is such a thing as over/underreaction to events.
    If you're in college you should have access to a paper by DeBont and Thaler about traders overreacting.

    If you want to trade up to the minute newsflow, you have to have a subsrciption service. Simple as. Don't let it dissuade you from trading if you don't have it the cash for it though.
