RE: Geospatial Big Data: The Magic of Maps and Money

Great post and I agree! The continued rapid increase in data has made visualization so important. In this case, the direct look at the amount of oil being extracted on a day to day basis. I would also argue that the rapid increase in data necessitates strength in statistics/financial mathematics as this company needs to take observed data and translate it into tradeable signals. Basically, the world is your oyster if you have a strong foundations in data visualization and statistics ha.

That's exactly right and exactly what such companies are doing - turning it into tradeable signals. That's why hedge fund managers and bigger companies pay them the big bucks. Statistics and financial mathematics with the added magic of automation to make it happen faster and more reliably and more repeatably. You are correct 👍
