Trusting trust :) This is one of, but not the main reasons why we build our own (Bloomberg B-Unit, PDF is the only good pic I see: http://www.bloomberg.com/prof

  Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Speaking of "trust", Bloomberg lost quite a lot of it when their reporters spied on their customers. Bloomberg Spying Went On For Years After Execs Knew: Report http://www.valuewalk.com/2013/08/bloomberg-spying-went-on-for-years-after-execs-knew-report/ http://www.valuewalk.com/2013/08/bloomberg-spying-went-on-fo... You were probably just as horrified as most of the other employees at Bloomberg when that info became public. The bad apples cost Bloomberg a lot of reputation. My point is that "trust" is very elusive, very easy to lose, very hard to gain. OTOH, are the "bad apples" at Bloomberg who condoned that behavior still in positions of power? Did they even get a slap on the wrist? If I were at Goldman, JPM, Citi, etc. I wouldn't "trust" Bloomberg until I saw some higher up people fall on their sword for that fiasco.

    If I were at Goldman et al. I would expect Bloomberg to treat employees that successfully use underhanded tactics, as business as usual, the same way I would probably have seen such employees (and maybe myself) treated by my own organization: "Job well done boys, but you better cool it for awhile. BWA ha ha ha! Have a cigar and a hooker."
