Tools like Bloomberg and Capital IQ exist for financial analysts to help understand details on certain companies as well as indexes. What's really, really interesting about Quandl is that they allow anyone (!) to play w. a broad data set of information - i.e. employment rates, hotel occupancy, company financials etc. - and become smarter around analysis.
Going into 2016, I'm excited about services that break down walls and free up information that makes the world around us much smarter. Count services like Tiingo (https://www.tiingo.com/), Premise (https://www.premise.com/), Kimono (https://www.kimonolabs.com/) and Blockspring (https://www.blockspring.com/) as early holiday gifts. :)
Quandl is no doubt the reason Tiingo can exist today
Absolutely incredible what Quandl has done and I look forward to working closer with you all going forward.
