    A Bloomberg terminal is just a PC that shows a bunch of stonks on a screen. This shit in the movies.

    It's famous for being absurdly arcane, navigable only by keyboard shortcuts only found in the paper manual. Also it costs $2000 a month, and if you stop paying they used to send a guy to physically remove it from your premises. I think it's just a piece of Windows software now, though.

    It seems like it's mostly a status/cultural thing, where you're not a "real" stock trader unless you've memorized all 5000 keyboard shortcuts.
