What I pressume is the text for "Gloomberg" in the Hero header looks very fucked up https://imgur.com/a/ssiKckF Hopefully it's not intentional

When I see new software now, my first thought is an LLM wrote it and it makes me not want to use it. I also assume there are bugs and it’s not particularly feature-rich.

An aside - do tools like this (or what it's modeling, the Bloomberg Terminal) really offer that much benefit to finance folks?

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.

Correct. Also, Bloomberg has messaging for traders that is actually an important network effect in certain domains.

We keep seeing hundreds of Bloomberg competitors mimicking the interface and they always forget that the chat (with the connections), data and the newsroom are the reasons why Bloomberg's network effect is close to impossible to break.

Using the Bloomberg Terminal is taught very early at colleges for any finance professional, which is how they get them as well.
