Bloomberg Terminal

A more detailed look - this is really excellent , exactly what I was looking for, I think - Id like to see what the disclaimers are on the data that is provided particularly the financial reporting stuff. I've enquired about the pricing.

Skills I cant do that as if you think that I need to look at say 10-12 sectors, place trades in respect of timings and look at other opportunities - I am out of time. At the moment I work from 8.00am to around 7 - 9 pm everyday 5 days a week and then some over the weekend.

I reckon an assistant would be more cost-effective than Reuters, but good luck with whatever you go for. 8am eh, now there's a luxurious lie-in

Textbook definition of serendipity methinks (or maybe I'm just fantastic at Google searches).

It was pretty much there straight away when I searched. Glad it seems helpful. No idea on costings but I'd be really surprised if it isn't pitched very very competitively compared to Reuters / Bloomberg. And seems far more focused on your own specific needs.

I think even if you dont trade using Bloomberg, what they say on there has a huge impact on the markets.

I've made huge amounts using the news on there. You only need to hear about the stress tests earlier. Check the Citibank trade. This was put on after they announced that the max capital injection was for Bank of America therefore Citi was less impacted.

I've also made a bit on FX which I dont normally trade using tips from Bloomberg.

Obviously this is not my entire strategy but it enhances my returns.

I initially gave you the benefit of the doubt, but now I am convinced that you are full of crap and you ought to keep your mouth shut. You will just confuse and misdirect newbies who are serious about trading

You do not understand what you are talking about, at all. But what is worse is that you do not understand that you do not understand!

philly Fed number-that's the service you pay for on bloomberg. -22, no +49, oh no its 22. oops -22. i think it's ok now lads.

Yeah - shocking, but also quite funny. Wouldn't be as funny if I paid the bill for mine directly though that's for sure. Is it me, or is this kinda thing getting more common right now as well?

Btw - I just did a quick google search and found this....

Had never heard of it before. Any use?

I took a look at this 2/3 years ago.

Tailored towards the Equity markets and no US data was a showstopper for me. And it was all Java based which just pissed me off at the time.

OTOH, it was about 200 notes a month.
