Thanks @adm

I am indeed slightly drunk

SURPRISE

[Joey_Fantana]

I feel like this is a clue as to your identity but… Edinburgh. Everyone in finance here is drunk.

[Finki]

It’s been a day

Phew

And thanks to those wanting FinKi API keys that I’ve taken ages to respond to… Your patience is appreciated… startup life is hard and I find it difficult to strike the right balance …

[Finki]

Yeah, good luck … feel free to speculate… you’ll be wrong!!!

But agreed. Edinburgh = excess drink, excess food. I have put on over 6kg since lockdown. Tonight I went to Fierce Beer and then ordered pizza. Healthy? Nope!!!

Cheers guys

I must admit, have not used Finki yet, something I really must unearth.
I think there must be something in the water … “whisky”… up in Scotland way though, as both of you are some of the most helpful chaps i’ve found on this forum

So - thanks guys, keep up your awesome work

Muchas gracias @adm

I’m not actually Scottish , but my wife is and I genuinely think Edinburgh is an amazing city and recommend it to anyone - in finance or otherwise. I’m 10 years here (mostly) now. Every time I go back to London to work for a startup I end up thinking this is not for me!

Here to help. Not always fully present these days but always here.

Use and abuse me

Just been browsing the site, just getting a gist. I’ll grab an API key soon.
I’m just getting my feet wet with Javascript right now and into API’s etc, so looking at all this on two stand points - one for the stocks and one for my own programming interest.

Cool project to keep watch of.

[chantal]

I’ll keep it at a glass of wine. Not interested in the rest.

Website soooo neglected for months now. I’m also clearly not a ‘design’ guy… I’m a good amateur, nothing else. Operations monkey by trade. Wannabe dev.

Master of None

Lots to learn

[Joey_Fantana]

Well that narrows the field a bit. 10 years ago I’d just, come back from travelling so it’s State Street, Citi or Kames Capital. Walter Scott an unlikely outside bet.

Wonder if my original suspicion is correct (I’ll never tell).

[Joey_Fantana]

Agreed. Great team but management made the place a giant headless chicken.

So I was thinking Kames. So now I need to think. Threadneedle, Threadneedle… I’ll ask Babs.

[Matt_C]

I’ll get around to requesting one eventually 🤦

JavaScript is nice and easy you’ll get the hang of it in no time. I miss getting the chance to flex my java and c++ but I’d be so rusty at this point

Go for Kotlin and don’t look back

[Matt_C]

Had to Google it. Nice to see that it works with Java so I wouldn’t be completely out of the loop. Currently use JavaScript for work purposes

[Finki]

I’m weirdly enjoying this game as I know you have virtually no chance of getting it correct.

Not that I doubt your Inspector Gadget-like detection skills.

I’m not even that precious about hiding who I am. Lots on here who email FinKi already know… and are sufficiently underwhelmed

Still. This is fun. But ultimately leads to disappointment. Like so many things.

[Joey_Fantana]

I’m starting to wonder if I’ll even remember when you tell me now! Ha ha!

Think I left Citi just as Threadneedle was kicking off. Not sure…

I’m currently using EODHistoricalData API for a project I’m working on. They’re cheap compared to a lot of others – you wouldn’t believe the battle I’ve had trying to find reasonably priced APIs… (Finnhub )
