> Isn’t community the single biggest advantage of Bloomberg Terminal? No. Calling Bloomberg a 24k/year chat box is doing Bloomberg a great disservice. The reason Bloomberg is 24k/year is because of the extensive global dataset. You can get everything from the latest on Apple to the latest on an obscure company in Mongolia. You can do extensive comparisons and analysis on a global basis. And the data is cleaned and standardised. So no concerns about messy dirty data that is often found in cheap or free options on the internet.
