Oh datafeed, Oh datafeed,
How deep and rich your content is.
You serve a multitude of needs
From HFTs to back offices.
From A to B you get my data,
Low latency won’t wait ‘til later
Oh datafeed, oh datafeed,
Supporting trading businesses.
Oh Bloomberg screen, Oh Bloomberg screen,
I can’t deny your quality.
But what makes us all quite nervous
Is whether you still spy on me.
You’ve gained a nasty reputation
For spotting rate manipulation.
Oh Bloomberg screen, Being overseen
Has dampened my frivolity.
Oh Symphony, Oh Symphony,
A golden opportunity.
To go on a bender of ripping out vendors,
That burden our community.
We’ll start with chat, then add some more
From vendors who are in your app store.
Oh Symphony, Oh Symphony,
We’ll build our own sweet harmony.
Oh FutureSource, Oh FutureSource,
How bright are lit your prices.
But I must review whether I still use you,
Now IDC is ICE’s.
I don’t know how it impacts me,
But surely you’ll increase your fees.
Oh FutureSource, oh FutureSource,
I’ll have to do an RFP.
Oh Thomson Reuters, Thomson Reuters,
Can you become a Bloomberg-killer?
Will you be king by offshoring
To datacenters in Manila?
Your FX news is unsurpassed,
Your latency is pretty fast.
Oh Thomson Reuters, Thomson Reuters,
2016 could be a blast!
Oh reader dear, Oh reader dear,
We thank you for your loyalty.
And hope that you will soon renew
Your subscription to IMD.
May next year be a prosperous one,
Filled with success and lots of fun.
Oh reader dear, Happy New Year,
From Faye and Joanne, and from me.
Inside Market Data will take a break from printing over Christmas and the New Year, with our next print issue delivered as usual on Monday, Jan. 11. In the meantime, we’ll continue to update the IMD website with news over the holidays. So until we print again, season’s greetings from the IMD and WatersTechnology staff, and a very Happy New Year to all our readers and their families.
