Afternoon chat with Andrew

Agenda #1: Marketing to finance people on the research side of things versus prospecting side of things

- the channels
- the kinds of budget they have
- their buying behavior

Agenda #2. Building up a data-set

- the features you would use in trading
- the kinds of systems they use
- how to package it to make it easy to import to their systems

Personal thoughts

- Don't see very clearly how a potential product market fit on the prospecting side will drive growth

General Feedbacks from Andrew on Fundamental Trading

- To look at TradeIdeas.com

trading data on the fundamental side
- Collect data and run it through all the indicators
- provide subscription to traders

- Fundamental trades

market cap, in-depth structure
- key data points

look at Yahoo finance to get the metrics they collect

- BloomBerg and Reuters already have that data
- leasing a BloomBerg terminals
- 350K best institutional traders

USD25K a year
- everything know about a market on the fundamental side

Thoughts on collecting disparate data points to support Technical Trading as they get published

- turning into useful and actionable information

is this a highly custom solution that has a finite live?

- everything that is known is also published

price and volume
- what is something traded for and how much is traded
- An indicator

based on Price and Volume
- anything that paints a line on the chart
- the ones he wrote and based on that

Is the trading market is really that appealing on the institutional side?

- is everything custom
