  • Bloomberg's moat is the messaging service within it, not it's aggregation of data

  • As someone whose trading is mostly based on vibes via Reuters, X, and the Apple Stocks app, this is a fun dip in the deep end. The tiling UI is quite sensible once you get the hang of it.

    The one thing I can't figure out is how to set a pane to change its ticker symbol based on the selected one in another pane. The default research panes do this, but I can't figure out how to set a new one to do it.

  • There's many competitors these days, one that Shkreli always seems to use in his streams is https://godelterminal.com (Not open source though).

  • Yeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.

  • I'm a regular Joe, but finance screens seem like pure wank to me. If you work a desk in NYC, maybe it's a different story, and even then probably not, but if you're some bum nobody from LA with a little bit of money to throw around, there's absolutely nothing these things, or 6 simultaneous screens and an RGB PC case are going to tell you that give you some sort of long-term edge.

    Horoscopes for young impressionable men, along with Bitcoin and all sorts of crap, was the most articulate way I've heard it.

    As if technical analysis was worth more insight than pissing straight up looking for rain. Sure, it's wet.

  • Useful on its own merits.

    Everybody who's distracted by the name and can't get past it, there's a thread developing here somewhere, where they're comparing it to Bloomberg.

  • I really wish people would mention their stack when they have these curl install scripts. I'd rather use a real package manager, but I'm not totally against installing a compiled binary this way. I am, 100%, not going to install some Java/Type-script nightmare like this though. How is it resolving the dependencies? Is it installing some version of node, bun... on my machine? How's that working with other versions I have installed?

    Related: please don't write command line tools in non-compiled languages! Don't make the runtime your user's problem.
