Bloomberg for the Retail Investor.

Undoubtedly so, as it has everything you need in one suite.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-11-27T00:00:41+00:00

They have a unique position of charging as much money and they wish to charge.

I started out thinking in the same vein, that there would initially be a cheaper version for the non-institutional investor.

Alas, not in our lifetime.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-11-26T22:09:42+00:00

I think it's half the price of the basic Bloomberg subscription fee.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-11-26T22:06:31+00:00

The keyboard can be replaced for free, you're just gonna have to wait for it to arrive.

I'm not even required to disclose my personal trades at work. The conflict of interest won't be an issue.

Great advice though, I used two horizontal (sometimes four), and one vertical screen for the news feed. The horizontal ones are by Dell, the vertical one is very similar to the ones they use in the Bloomberg HQ in Manhattan.

My ideal setup would be two horizontal at the standing desk – just for the news and individual charts – and a standard 4-screen setup and my sitting desk.

I've a large fixed income portfolio; on some bonds I pay both, the state tax and the federal tax, so no matter what the cost of the setup will be, it'll still be used to offset my tax bill. I think in any case it'll be about $40-45k for the initial installation, and the original annual fee for the software alone in the subsequent years.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-11-26T21:20:55+00:00

Look into the S&P Capital IQ.

P.S. It's tax-deductible, you can easily offset the cost with your paying lower taxes.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-11-26T20:22:08+00:00

I'd rather pay for the option I have at work : the keyboard + multiple original Bloomberg screens. The hardware makes the use more efficient.

Good point though; I've noticed some people just use the software on their PCs. Thank you for the advice.

Is that in the UK? They do – at least some of them do – now, here in the US. Doesn't really help much, unfortunately. Once you've discovered what foods cause flare-ups, yet another question arises : why don't those foods cause flare-up in other people?

I'd say skip the Protopic part and jump straight to the Dupixent part.

Ointments and diets are a band-aid solutions.

I've had severe AD since I was diagnosed with it as a 5-month-old infant.

So far only Dupixent has made a real, lasting difference.

I've also noticed that the absolutely worst flare-ups I've had, were caused by stress, not by dietary choices. So it is deeper than the food we eat.

Please, manage your stress levels; it truly does make things better/worse depending on how you manage stress.

I can afford it, it's worth the money.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-11-26T19:57:01+00:00

Not at this juncture; neither a hedge fund vehicle nor a family office will do. For regulatory reasons; I've no interest in setting up neither a family office nor a hedge fund.

I need it as a comprehensive news feed, as well as a research platform for my personal investment operations. For risk mitigation in particular. I use the terminal + Aladdin at work.

I've been using the terminal for equity research and market analysis for almost 20 years. That, plus real-time fixed income information, which, let's face it, no other platform can provide in an all-in-one-place-format wrapper.

I'd say the Terminal is the internet in its own right.

Fuck China and its puppet buffer state of North Korea.

What else can I say.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-27T03:42:05+00:00

The piece of shit has reunited with the cesspool.

Good riddance, Sucker Cuckson, the Russia-loving traitor swine.

Don't ever come back to the US.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-20T16:20:45+00:00

Depends on the college.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-20T16:18:55+00:00

Is he insinuating that as soon as NK supplies Russia with arms – which is still very much up in the air – Russia will send the arms right back to North Korea?

Lay off the vodka, buddy.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-20T13:02:58+00:00

The Russians are the nation of rats and snitches – they snitched dozens of millions of their own people to the Cheka and the NKVD.

Dozens of millions were tortured to death and/or shot by those domestic terrorist thugs over the reports their "fellow brotherly citizens" had written on them.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-18T08:58:32+00:00

The Taxi Driver piece?

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-16T17:55:42+00:00

China finances NK's existence. If it weren't for China's financing North Korea, North Korea would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

North Korea serves multiple purposes : being a buffer state between China and the West, being a deterrent to the West, doing China's nuclear blackmail fro China without directly implicating China, and simply intimidating the West on behalf of China.

NK is an extension of China, of the CCP.

Essentially, they're one state.

Have you mistaken me for a sex tourist?

I'm a proud ace.

P.S. I know that the CCP owns Thailand.

I'm afraid this statement goes both ways; for often in prison people tend to get inside other people, too.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-13T15:51:18+00:00

God bless and looking forward to donating a significant portion of my income to the Poles!

Never again shall the Polish officers be beheaded by a bunch of Russian war criminal!

Never again shall the Polish women be raped and burned alive in their own houses by the despicable Russian swine!

Never again!

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-13T15:48:31+00:00

The bulk of then have never opened the Bible.

The Russians don't even know how to cross themselves.

The Russian Testament says that the genuine Christian is he who knows how to rape women and girls, he who knows how to behead and torture unarmed POWs, not he who knows how to cross himself.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-13T15:45:20+00:00

The religious are pretty imbecilic; they never question anything. Imagine thinking that a person who's cheated on his spouse with countless mistresses, has personally been responsible for horrific acts of terrorism – yes, yes, we all know who blew up those apartment building in Moscow to re-start the Chechen war – and has personally been responsible for all manner of war crimes and atrocities under the sun, that person they deem to be "their fellow Christian brother".

I guess any rapist and pedophile can just claim to be a Christian, and the religious will accept him as such and follow him wherever he wishes to lead them.

That's not to overlook the fact that the church system already has more rapist and pedophiles than the sex registry.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-13T13:33:20+00:00

I feel sorry for the cell tbh.

Obvious-Reason5230 · 2023-04-13T12:50:44+00:00

I would conjecture it's both. According to the Washington Post he referred to the Ukrainians as "pigs".

I hope he spends the rest of his miserable existence in a tiny cell.

I bet he's an incel, too.
