Bloomberg.com VS AlphaThrottle.com - which one is best for financial news streaming? Which one do you all use?

I used to love Bloomberg.com until they underwent that total white redesign... I've been using StreetStreamer (something no one has ever heard of lmao) which closed down apparently and became AlphaThrottle.com ....

which one is better? which ones do you guys use more? any good finance sites out there?

haha i LOOOOVE www.AlphaThrottle.com

i skim it right before my ibanking interviews and networking lunches with alums and VPs. ...it gives me a LOT of stuff to talk about

FinViz is pretty nice though and I use them interchangably but alphathrottle has more information on one page and they make efficient use of my wide screen laptop pretty well...

call me lame but usually when I'm about to meet up for networking, I memorize a couple news stories on that site and a couple on their Hong Kong and Singapore pages and not gonna lie, the alums are always impressed at my knowledge. best site for bullshitters like me :-D

lmao! haha not a bad idea actually...too bad i already have a job :P i had my uhh...other ways of bullshitting ;)

 

well the thing about alphathrottle.com is that you need a fast internet and a wide screen laptop to really enjoy its maximum benefits...otherwise if you're on a slow internet connection it's kinda slow

but overall i like it and i'll probably start using it more and more along with bloomberg

thanks for bringing this up guys... he apparently hasn't made videos available yet so i'd still use bloomberg for that haha.

fxstreet.com is nice for forex people...i've been using it in the past.
