Bloomberg Terminal" />Last year, we sat down with a Bloomberg pro and asked them about cool things you could do with finance's favorite machine.

Here are a few that are especially awesome for investing and trading:

Trends visualization: You can look at and customize trends that are occurring around the world-- commodities, equities, you name it. Check out Credit Default Swap spreads: For any company or country. Find out what people are talking about: Bloomberg has its own 24-hour water cooler (command, NI SPEC) where you can find out what people at other terminals are talking about. Sort your content: Give your inbox filters so that things that involve, say, corn futures, go directly to you.Speed dial and direct messaging: Hit up traders at terminals around the world, or put them on speed dial when you need a word ASAP. Resource maps: Need to know how oil and gas get to Buloxi Mississippi? Need to know how many ports are located off the coast of Washington state? Bloomberg has a map for that. Performance over tenure: See how well a company has done under a specific CEO.And here are some key commands, courtesy of market folly via (Columbia Business School): TOP [GO] Displays top new stories.
