Why we built it

A research tool for people who pick their own US stocks.

I built stocksbrew because following a company meant reopening the same tabs every morning. A price chart in one, the latest filing in another, a news search, an earnings calendar, someone's opinion on a forum. Most days nothing had changed, and I had spent twenty minutes finding that out.

What I wanted was something that did the reading for me and reported back: this moved, here is why if there is a why, this reports on Thursday, nothing else needs you. So that is what this is.

What I decided it would not do

  • It does not touch money. There is no brokerage connection and no way to place a trade. I did not want to hold a credential that could move anyone's savings, and I think a research tool is more honest when it cannot profit from you trading more.
  • It does not make up a reason. Most price moves have no clean cause. When we have not found one, the product says so in those words.
  • It does not let a model write the numbers. Models write some of the sentences. Prices, returns, ratios, the call and the zones are computed or copied from a source.
  • It does not show a backtest as a track record. Simulated results are labelled as simulated, with the period and the reasons they flatter.

Who is behind it

stocksbrew is a small independent product, built and run by me, Tarun Tomar. I write the code, the data pipelines and these pages. I am not a licensed investment adviser, a portfolio manager or a broker, and nothing here is advice for your situation.

There is no team page because there is no team to put on one, and no investor logos because there are none.

How it pays for itself

Reading is free: stock reports, our call on more than 700 US stocks, filings, fund pages and strategies. Pro is $19 a month or $190 a year and pays for the parts that run on your behalf. There are no ads, no affiliate links in our comparisons and no selling of your data. See Free vs Pro.

If something is wrong

If a page is confusing or a number looks wrong, email me at [email protected] with the page and what you expected. I read every message. How errors get corrected is in Editorial standards and corrections.
