Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 71: Social Data, Analytics and Trading
Stephen Morse gives a presentation on how traders are using information created via Twitter to derive trading insights.
Earlier this week, Waters’ sibling publication, Inside Data Management, hosted its annual North American Financial Information Summit (NAFIS).
