Exactly - and the challenge with that is the data is sometimes only available on BBG. So by not using BBG, you’re missing data, and are at a disadvantage.
This is a data problem, not a software problem. The solution isn’t open source, it’s regulation. I’m an American, so I don’t know much about EU markets, but I’m under the impression they have more mandated transparency in fixed income via ESMA https://www.esma.europa.eu/issuer-disclosure/electronic-repo...
Will that happen? I don’t know. We still use CUSIPs over OpenFIGI, paying for all that S&P licensing, despite a great free alternative. Slow moving industry.
You are clearly missing the point of an open source investment research platform.
OpenBB doesn't own any data. But by providing an open source infrastructure, any data can be hooked up into a single platform.
So your argument about BBG isn't valid, because with what we are building there's no reason why OpenBB couldn't integrate with BBG data feeds (if they were open to it).
Regardless, I agree that the Bbg comparison is more for marketing. Our approach is substantially different for a different market.
