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.

it's a GUI and a TUI, pay attention to the screenshots

Does the GUI have Bloomberg's data source?

To be fair, I don't see anywhere on this page where they try to suggest that this is competitive with a Bloomberg terminal.

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

How well do you think their terminal works if they couldn't even spend the time to clean up their vibe coded website?

Your website is literally down.

And I don't think their website is that bad.

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

Can you elaborate on the network effect piece? Curious about that

Some of us are just here for the æsthetics! Plus I already have the SEA100 "Centerboard" with chrome accents, and this will help complete the look.

> They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections. 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,…

Is it still though? I have a few finance friends and they all seem to be on TradingView these days

actually a lot of data is not included in the standard bloomberg license and you have to pay extra (mostly passing through to the data vendors) to get access to it.

There is not a single reason for Bloomberg’s dominance but the one feature that keeps people on it is the chat.

It's really useful to have a chat app that is gatekept behind a 20k/year+ subscription. It's a particularly useful signal if someone is offering you a million+ dollar asset for sale.

Financial companies are cutting down on the amount associates can bill the firm for a $30 dinner, and the time before they can have the firm pay for a $30 car ride home. They definitely wouldn't pay for Bloomberg if it could be easily replaced.
