, bespoke research outfit Autonomous Research is planning to charge its clients as much as $1,000 for a single stock report with the fee rising to $5,000 for high-end industry research. A fee of $5,000 per user will also be levied for access to its daily roundup of news and analysis.

This premium cost makes other figures put forward by the likes of Barclays seem cheap by comparison. that Barclays will charge $455,000 a year for its 'Gold' package, which includes "Unlimited reports, field trips and 'occasional' one-on-one meetings with analysts and corporate executives."
