Office 365 2016 - FactSet & Bloomberg Add-In
I just want to give a heads up to everyone. I've recently went through the process of upgrading to Office 2016 which was a hassle in itself, but that's a different discussion. If you use the FactSet add-in or the Bloomberg add-in do not upgrade. The add-ins are not compatible with Office 2016 at...
Who actually uses these numbers on Bloomberg?
So if you have access to a Bloomberg terminal, then you probably know that you can get the contact info of some of the biggest names on Wall St. Are these just secretaries' numbers, or if I actually called one, would I be connected right to Lloyd Blankfein? Not that I would, because he doesn't have...

Bloomberg Terminal - Equity Research?
Isn't ER supposed to come with a Terminal? I have never used one before, but just switched from commercial banking to corporate banking. I went in and found a few reports, and it said I didn't have a subscription for any. This just an access issue?
Bloomberg Campus Ambassador?
Is anyone familiar with this? I'm a freshman at a semi-target school in the midwest looking to break into consulting. I get that these sorts of things are generally kind of useless, but would it be a decent first experience kind of thing?

Hi, Does anybody know if I could download historical weekly natural gas reports estimates? Or is it just updated every Monday? Also, how would I get there through bloomberg.

Young Bankers Fed Up With 90-Hour Weeks Move to Startups
Nice job Patrick! Executives can be less interested in their young assistants’ health than they are in getting a deal done, former junior bankers say. One recalls working on a deal through a nasty sinus infection. When the banker resisted flying out of town to meet with the client, the managing...

Bloomberg Starboard keyboard - dangerous for your wrist?
Has anyone any thoughts about Bloomberg's keyboards, more particularly about this new Starboard keyboard they have?

Bartiromo Bolts CNBC for Fox Business News
Nailed it. Back in July I postulated that the Money Honey might be getting happy feet after 20 years with CNBC, and lo and behold I was right. I just never would have guessed she'd land at upstart rival Fox Business News . According to the news of her departure, she'll also become something of a...

Anyone else annoyed with / offended by Bloomberg and CNBC Advertising?
As someone that has an above average financial understanding, I find it appalling that both networks are littered with advertisements for things like Critical Warning #6, Reverse Mortgages and Red- Green Stocks trading platform, which by the way promises to provide a return that the traditional buy...

Christopher Whalen... how is this clown on TV?
Someone explain how this guy weaseled his way into people thinking he is an "expert" on anything. He dresses worse than a professor, looks like someone you threw tomatoes at back in Old Europe, has a website that looks like it is from 1995, and adds little of value to the discussion on banking.

Recent news on the alleged "Bloomberg Scandal"
Thoughts on this? It seems like depending on which news source you're reading, the story is definitely tilted one way or another.
