LOADING SECURITIES

1. Start typing the name of the company or financial instrument you want to analyze in the command line at the top of the screen.

As you type, Autocomplete provides a list of suggested securities.

|Hint| The more information you enter, the more refined the list becomes. For example, if you know the type of security you

want, press the matching yellow market sector key to update the results.

2. Select the security you want to load.

The security loads

and a menu appears with a list of functions you can run to analyze your selected security

Note: Once you load a security

you can run any number of functions to analyze that security

For example

once you load

T US Equity

you can run the Description function by enteringDES <Go>

then enterGP <Go> to run the Price Chart

function

SCREEN ELEMENTS

Bloomberg functions use common screen elements that work in similar ways. Once you learn about these elements, you can use

any function.

MENU BAR

The red bar at the top of each function includes the function's title at the right and provides drop-down menus and buttons to

help you perform key tasks. It may also contain a page number indicator.
