"If your data is so good why aren't you trading on it" is a question you could ask Bloomberg, RavenPack, Dataminr, or any financial data company that's ever existed. Bloomberg makes $12B/year selling the terminal, not trading on it.

Selling the pickaxes is a better business than mining.

Not sure why the defensiveness.

I’m truly astounded that you were able to predict with such confidence these moves that surely you’ve made lots of money off it in addition to selling a $5 subscription to a few people.

You could probably raise the price to $500, no?
