[R-SIG-Finance] [R-sig-finance] intraday data for VIX?

[spencerg]

Hi, Guy: 


      Thanks very much.  That's helpful. 


      The Wikipedia article on the "Bloomberg Terminal" 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomberg_Terminal) helped me understand 
why people pay for that service, but I still have another question: 


      Do you get the same data from Bloomberg as, e.g., Yahoo?  Or does 
Bloomberg generally provide better quality or more comprehensive data? 


      Thanks again.
