When I quit my job and set off as a consultant I missed the power, but there was no way I was forking over $2,000 per month for my own Bloomberg Terminal. It’s ridiculously powerful.Īnd at an annual fee of $24,240 per user, it’s ridiculously expensive. I had access to every major data platform, website, and feed available: Refinitiv, Thomson Reuters, Capital IQ, YCharts, and, best of all, Bloomberg.Ī Bloomberg Terminal is the gold standard for real-time news, research, analysis, data, and economic reports on local and global scales. The only thing I miss about being a financial data analyst for Fortune 500 clients is the data. Commissions do not affect the opinions or evaluations of our editorial team.
