A comment on Nasdaq Acquires Quandl to Advance the Use of Alternative Data. Parent comment
- Real-time weather data from major ports and across the main shipping lines
- Telemetry from crop and soil report systems
- Up-to-date satellite imagery of basically anything large under construction (solar farms, factories, ...)
