FetchXL

Since I keep seeing this advertised here, how do people feel about this piece of software?

Hear Chad speak about it in his demo - http://www.fetchxl.com/demo_overview.shtml
Found it pretty impressive.

only uses microsoft excel since thats what everyone in the company uses

So that’s what Chad looks like:

I seem to recall that it is $4000/year or roughly $11 per day. But it does lots of good stuff.

You could get all the same data free from the yahoo finance group excel plug in

 

[needhelp]

It says Chad is ‘a’ founder of AF. How many founders were there and where/who are the others?

Personally wasn’t impressed when I trialed it but that was some time ago and would guess that it has probably improved.

$4000/year for a spreadsheet software?
wow, it would have to completelyl blow out microsoft excel to justify that cost

You didn’t read anything about the service, did you?

Agreed. All of the sponsors of this site are terrible, terrible organizations, IMHO.

Does anyone know what the pricing is for, say, FetchL or FetchM if I don’t need FetchXL? Thanks.

 

[Hello Mister Walrus]

Is there anything in this program that we can’t get through Bloomberg API?

 

[bchadwick]

The price is a quite a bit lower than Bloomberg.

…ahh well, everything ‘finance’ looks impressive to me (as I am not from the field).
Looking at some of the comments above, I don’t think Chad invented a rocket.
