The Fifth Elephant 2012

To demonstrate different ways to slice and dice financial market data and economic numbers. From static charts to moving and interactive visualizations, we’ll take a look at what markets have prompted investors, traders and managers to create in order to make sense of the madness.

Outline

Financial markets create massive amounts of data, from product documentation to traded prices. And you find that one piece of information is related to another, or depends on it or is otherwise correlated. The use of innovative techniques to visualize data is not just for eye-candy or appeal, but will hugely influence business or investing decisions. I propose to demonstrate what has been done and what you can do with market data.

Requirements

An idea of what stocks and bonds are, some basic economic concepts like per-capita income and GDP.
