you're wrong. that's public data and you absolutely can sell it. hedge funds are worried about insider trading so if you can make the case that the data you used to trade was available to everyone then it's cleared by compliance. source: I work for a startup that does that and has 1MM rar.

not according to the article. hedge funds claim they cqre about the means by which you obtain that data. for most of the methods i outlined, it is against the site's tos to obtain that data.

I want you to tell me what company you work for that sells this public data, and I'll be happy.

Don't care to tell me? Then don't respond with a comment saying "What else do you want me to tell you?" :)
