Need Global Financial Data? One Somewhat Useful Site
July 21, 2020
If you need a financial number, you may not have to dig through irrelevant free Web search results or use your Bloomberg terminal to find an “aggregate” function for the category in which you have an interest. Yippy.
Navigate to “All of the World’s Money and Markets in One Visualization.” As you know, my skepticism filter blinks when I encounter the logical Taser “all.” I also like to know where, when, how, and why certain data are obtained. The mechanism for normalizing the data is important to me as well. Well, forget most of those questions.
Look at the Web page. Pick a category. Boom. You have your number.
Accurate? Timely? Verifiable?
Not on the site. But in a “good enough” era of Zoom meetings, a number is available. Just in a picture.
