The Bloomberg Terminal is the gold standard for institutional financial data — and at $24,000 per user per year, it’s priced exclusively for hedge funds, investment banks, and large asset managers. For retail investors, independent analysts, and small firms, that’s simply not viable.
Advantage Intel delivers Bloomberg-grade corporate intelligence signals — SEC distress alerts, insider trading patterns, congressional stock trades, short interest, activist positions, macro indicators — for $99/month. That’s 99.6% cheaper.
