Just curious how you do your searches, are you just searching bloomberg or is it there site that comes up most with your key search words. I just see the trend and wonder why most of the links are from Bloomberg.

I guess what i am asking what do you know about bloomberg aside from the obviouse and why do you think that they are relaying current financial events so thoroughly. Do they have an agenda?

May be a strange question. Thanks for your work . Been following this crises for a long time now and i think i need to take a step back.

Its like watching the biggest passenger train wreck ever in slow motion. I cant take my eyes off it.....yet i have time to run a few errands.

[edit on 2-3-2009 by The Great Day]

reply to post by The Great Day
Good Question....

Star 4 U!

Being as Bloomberg has a "Monopoly" on Global events...I start there...

BUT...I don't stop there...I scan multiple Financial Outlets...Google Engines...Major News Outlets...Blogs...Opinions...IM transactions...TV...Radio...SW (even!)...

Not just a singuliar source...believe me..I would not stop there!!!

I TRY to provide links to articles for Collaboration...as you can see..EVERYONE has a link...No???

I no longer believe Hx is human. Just a webbot that got rootkitted to fix it to Bloomberg. Once the programmers have run a decent anti-virus the feeds will doubtless revert to multi-sourcing.

...At which point this could become a subscription-only service.

True enough...Bloomberg is like my one stop shopping site, but, I do add others as the day progresses, if they catch my eye or are not covered by B...just easier finding/posting it all grouped together basically, when I deal with that amount of data...

Some may think it's biased...my disclaimer is...
"Take it with a grain of Salt and research it further if it interests you"

I watch him (admittedly too much) over on the Market data thread and have come to the conclusion that Hx3 is a machine that runs on caffeine.

I think last night was the first night in a week he actually got more than a 3 hour shut down
