// monsa vs bloomberg terminal
Bloomberg Terminal y Monsa responden a preguntas distintas.
A terminal is where a professional finds out what is happening. Monsa is where you find out whether what you hold still matches what you said you wanted.
Para qué sirve esta herramienta, y la tabla de abajo, siguen en inglés. Son afirmaciones sobre el producto de otro, citadas una vez y comprobadas una vez, y ocho versiones de una afirmación sobre un tercero son ocho ocasiones de contarla un poco mal.
Para qué sirve Bloomberg Terminal
News, pricing, fixed income, FX, chat, and a data set deep enough that entire desks are built around it. It is the industry's nervous system and it is priced like it.
Monsa holds the rules you wrote down and checks your holdings against them every night.
They do not overlap enough to choose between. A terminal answers questions you bring to it; Monsa asks you one question you did not bring, every night, about the book you already own. Somebody with a terminal at work and a personal portfolio at home is the clearest case for running both.
Lado a lado
| Lo que quiere hacer | Bloomberg Terminal | Monsa |
|---|---|---|
| Find out what happened to a company today | Comprehensive. News, filings, transcripts, estimates, the lot. | Not its job. Monsa reads fundamentals and prices, not news. |
| Write down what you require of a holding | Screening exists, but the criteria live in a screen you run, not as a rule-set attached to a portfolio. | The whole product. Rules belong to a portfolio and are checked against every holding in it. |
| Be told when a holding stopped matching your own rules | You would have to remember to re-run the screen. | Every night, without being asked. |
| Cost | A professional subscription, priced per seat per year. | One plan, priced on the pricing page. |
Cuándo no necesita Monsa
If you have a terminal and the discipline to re-run your own screens on your own book, you do not need this. The gap Monsa fills is the re-running.
Monsa tampoco es un bróker, no ejecuta operaciones y nunca dice qué comprar o vender. Las otras comparaciones dicen lo mismo sobre otras herramientas, y una hoja de cálculo llega más lejos de lo que casi todo el mundo espera.
Las reglas escritas mientras todavía recuerda por qué compró algo sobreviven al momento en que el precio le lleva la contraria.
