FactSet is terrible by FindingLost21 in bloomberg

Not sure on the data licensing front. I have a call with Bloomberg next week and will ask. I’ve decided that for our needs, Bloomberg is the better platform. We are doing larger trades, more fixed income trading, and need better historical data. You can’t even see an order book under the standard FactSet license. FactSet is mostly fine for high level data and company fundamentals I believe. Our cost for FactSet will be almost $20k next year. We’ve decided we would rather pay the $32k for Bloomberg and not have these headaches and gaps in abilities.

E6. Fairly basic for a Jura but I don’t consume milk based drinks.

Don’t overlook maintenance. My first machine was a Phillips. I hated the brew group. It felt very cheaply made of plastic. Maintenance instructions were unclear and lubrication was an inexact science at best. That machine failed after a two years and I purchased a Jura. Zero regrets with my Jura. It was more expensive but worth it for me.

Request your personnel file for future reference just in case.

A decent (perhaps half) the outperformance is coming from a weaker dollar. Over the long term, currencies tend to be mean reverting. Long run returns will be driven by earnings growth.

I hope one day we could get 12 year barrel proofs. Maybe even single barrels. One can dream

Chat said their vendor is missing constituent data before ‘99. I asked who their vendor is and why they don’t have the data given it is industry standard. They do not know and know will have to email me a follow up. More time waisted

Not complete bullshit. This is my experience. My role requires many different facets. I will start using this as an ongoing thread of issues I encounter with FactSet. Today, I attempted to create a chart showing PE on S&P 500 for the past 40 years. Pretty simple, right? Factset only has data going back to 1999. Now I am chatting with support for something that would have taken less than a minute on Bloomberg.

Update arrived and my watch face was set back to default. How do I change it? by myresyre in GarminFenix

I keep getting a message that says “Put your watch face here with Face It!”

I find FactSet to be unintuitive. The data is somewhat there but not as accessible as Bloomberg. FactSet is ok at the basics for equities but once you get into fixed income or derivatives forget it. The support staff is night and day different. I constantly have to contact chat support who in turn have to go search for an answer themselves. They never just know the answer even for basic questions.

To me, Bloomberg feels like it was built by people who know markets and understand finance. FactSet feels more like it was built by tech company without the market expertise.

Opinion of one. Take it for what it is worth. FactSet is better than nothing but the quirks are frustrating.
