    Right, it provides what most retail traders are looking for in order to improve their investment performance, at a price most retail traders can afford. We're not trying to end Bloomberg, and institutional traders of fixed income, fore

    Do have analyst price targets and consensus estimates for financials, and will have sell side analysis as an option within 12 months.

    Should be fixed, got lots more traffic than expected and have now patched. Please use an email address with one of the major email providers for it to validate :)

    A bunch of software offers good technical analysis based on charts in the present moment. But if you want to find the fundamental data of any imaginable company -- income statements, operating ratios (eg. Return on Capital), or even what an

    5 pages of data per month, correct. Free tier is primarily to explore what we can do for you. Trial period idea makes sense, let us get further feedback and we can do that instead of a free-forever, but restricted, tier. Thoughts, HN commun

    Stuff like mapping the location of oil barges in real time, or executing $10 billion trades in real-time. If you're not an oil trader making trades by the second or managing a $50 billion endowment or hedge fund, do you need to pay $25

    Yes, messaging is a fair point. We plan to add interactive communities and messaging to Feather. We expect a large number of well-informed investors on our platform, so the conversation should be value-add for all. And again, goes without s
