Quote from Happy Hopping:
Is there a web site to give daily, monthly and yearly chart on the Baltic Dry index? Any1 please help.
What is it ?
Who calculates it ?
Does it have derivatives ?
If so how are they cleared and traded and by who ?
Who are the big players in it ?
What times does it kick off ?
What are the biggest macro/micro influences to it ?
Are there any regulatory regimes that govern it ?
What is a Capesize/Panamax/Handymax/Supramax ?
This is a basic research task that as a "trader" you should be able to do, if it was say looking for a broker to offer trading on Zimbabwean Dollars/Nigerian Niara then you could be excused, but for a mainstream item, really, there is no excuse at all
Anyway, answer those questions and you will know enough about it to appear on Bloomberg
