Paywalled.
So I can't determine whether the author reports the effect of an FBI undercover operation running out of the Chicago Board of Trade's commodity pits. An untrained (not with respect to guns, of course) undercover agent was trading with the FBI's practically unlimited money. His wild card futures trading negatively affected those commodity prices, which in turn affected stock prices, which in turn...you get the picture.
- hkmurakami 9y agoBloomberg paywalls? (I was able to click through the headline and see the article) Out of curiosity what's Bloomberg's paywall trigger?
- adventured 9y agoSometime in the last few months they've begun paywalling more and more content on Bloomberg.com. They had been doing that with their Businessweek division for a long time. They have a note at the paywall cut-off that says (summarizing): sign-up for a free Bloomberg account to get unlimited access to articles (portfolio tracker, video content, etc). Opening a new incognito browser seems to bypass the paywall, so I guess they're using a basic cookie check for now (5-6 articles in N time). They're nudging people to free accounts, so I guess they're not looking to be overly aggressive just yet.
