Your host - Opto

OPTO started with a simple idea: that markets cannot truly be understood through numbers alone. Every company, investor and executive plays a role in shaping the market from one day to the next. By telling their stories and understanding what drives them, OPTO’s analysis provides a more holistic picture of what truly moves markets – and what those cold, hard numbers really mean.
