Bloomberg Terminal

200 sterling? Much more realistic then. Not institutional quality necessarily, but not institutionally priced either. I reckon it could be a good middle ground.

btw, before the inevitable question gets asked, let me just say - I don't work for on behalf of these guys - never even met them, just googled across it.

Basically the 200 GBP is to save you doing some donkey work and getting the information that is aleady in the public domain, and to put it all in a nice wrapper.
Few bells and Whitles like alerts, RNS and there you go.

Apologies folks, I think I have got my wires crossed.

The system I looked at was similar (looked at Alpha too but unsure about the trial... maybe I didn't bother because they were same UK equities focused, can't remember tbh).

I looked at something called KTS market terminal, and they don;t seem to exist anymore.

Sorry for any confusion.

UK's been downgraded lads, everyone cr@p out... oh wait no, sorry there's a 1 in 3 chance they'll get downgraded, which is actually quite positive... cheers RAN et al.

not quite correct. bloomberg said S&P had downgraded the OUTLOOK from stbale to negative. Key is the wording.

don't forget to sell the gilt on the opening tomorrow though...

True, but the way it was said on the squawk it sounded far worse. Either that or I wasn't listening properly. Either way I wasn't in a position so I don't know why I'm moaning.
