// monsa vs bloomberg terminal
Bloomberg Terminal e Monsa rispondono a domande diverse.
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.
A cosa serve questo strumento, e la tabella qui sotto, restano in inglese. Sono affermazioni sul prodotto di qualcun altro, citate una volta e verificate una volta, e otto riscritture di un'affermazione su un terzo sono otto occasioni per renderla leggermente sbagliata.
A cosa serve 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.
Fianco a fianco
| Cosa vuole fare | 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. |
Quando Monsa non serve
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 non è nemmeno un broker, non esegue operazioni e non dice mai cosa comprare o vendere. Gli altri confronti dicono la stessa cosa di altri strumenti, e un foglio di calcolo arriva più lontano di quanto quasi tutti si aspettino.
Le regole scritte finché ci si ricorda ancora perché si è comprato qualcosa sopravvivono al momento in cui il prezzo dà torto.
