No published prices + a seemingly HIGHLY profitable portion of a government service provided by a private company = something pretty shady. Even the contracts

No published prices + a seemingly HIGHLY profitable portion of a government service provided by a private company = something pretty shady.
Even the contracts to run private prisons don't give this much opportunity to gouge.
Were this service run on an at-cost basis would maybe cost $80 or so per month. $200 at most.
- tptacek 12y ago"HIGHLY profitable"? Even at the highest price quoted on this thread, this looks like a rounding error --- in the sense that if you were a startup providing this information at these prices to its total addressable market, you'd have a hard time even getting funded. The number of firms that can profit from trading off realtime access to fundamentals is not large. It's a market where viable real products need to have customer lifetime values in the many millions.
