Why Bloomberg? What differentiates Bloomberg from its competitors? If a Bank had 300 Bloomberg Terminals, but decided to close down its equity department with 30 Terminals how would you handle the situation? How would non-financial institutions use Bloomberg? Tell me about a finance story that interests you and explain it to me like I dont know anything about finance
