Summary

You may have heard of the Bloomberg terminal. It's expensive software that can monitor and analyze real-time financial market data and place trades on the electronic trading platform. But have you heard of OpenBB? It's similar software for real-time and long term analysis for finance and investing. The difference is it's open source and built entirely with Python and gives you access to analyze a massive amount of real-time and historical data using the full Python data science stack. On this episode, we have one of the cofounders, James Maslek here to give us a look inside this cool piece of Python-based software.
