Data gathering

Discussion in 'Educational Resources' started by MarkBrezina, May 2, 2019.

  1. Dear everyone

    Sorry in advance for the generic message
    My reason for writing to you today is quite simple really, I'm gathering data for a very large data crunch.

    All to better understand the entirety of the financial system.

    I'm here, just like I'm everywhere to ask you all for the possibility that you would answer a small set of questions listed below. I'm going to use the data to look at relations between

    -new comers to the fields(newbies) and the ones currently working(pros)
    -Quants, reseachers and brokers
    -Advocations for a good and bad financial future
    -People who work with trading and people who work with technical stuff
    -Private companies vs Government offices

    In case you have any inquiries or just simply want to chat a bit with me in private my email is mark@brezina.dk


    I have made a survey with link below
    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/37FRQ5K


    On the 1st of May I called and emailed more than 40 banks/investment firms/hedge funds/investment research companies and government offices, some in UK, some in US and some in my homecountry Denmark. I still have a large amount to go and those will slowly be receiving phone calls and/or emails.

    On 1st of May I also started gathering information from the quants related forums Wilmott (https://forum.wilmott.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=101800) and QuantNET (https://quantnet.com/threads/statistical-data-gather-for-you.38965/)

    On 2nd of May I will be posting through the broker communities and the Researcher communities

    You should really consider something like Survey Monkey to collect this data and consider rewording some of your questions as they are a bit vague ("Do you see or understand any underlying truths in the financial system?").
     
  3. I agree, but I've had to sacrifice a bit of the precision for the amount of time spend on a processing and gathering the large amount of data

    Processing and gathering is going to be much more difficult with the current format you are using.
     
  5. I have updated and made a survey, also fan, what would you recommend? I'm very happy to hear any recommendations or considerations

  8. Cool. I need as much data as universally possible, everybody's opinions matter
