$150,000 = you are paying for early access to insider data. You are NOT paying for a fucking help desk at that price.

Edit: downvoting does not change this fact either.

According to the WSJ article on this, the current price is around $1500 per month. [1]

Also, note that you are paying to receive an electronic feed of a company's public SEC filings, which include filings detailing purchase and sale of stock by the company's employees, which are called "insiders" in this context.

The phrase "insider data" conjures images of insider trading, which relies on trading on material non-public information, and something quite different.

you are being downvoted for picking a number out of context and unnecessarily provocative language.
