The wire

The wire is every headline we collect, newest first, with filters for a ticker or a topic. It is the raw feed the rest of the product draws on.

Where headlines come from#

• Publisher RSS feeds for market news.
• Press releases from the SEC, the Federal Reserve, the FTC, the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and company releases carried by PR Newswire.
• Yahoo Finance's per-symbol feed for the stocks we cover.

What we store, and what we do not write#

For each headline we keep the title, the publisher, the link, the publish time and the publisher's own excerpt, trimmed. We do not rewrite headlines and no model writes the excerpt. To read the story you follow the link to the publisher.

How a headline is tied to a stock#

A headline is tagged with a ticker only on a strict match:

• an exchange tag such as (NASDAQ: AAPL),
• a cashtag such as $AAPL, or
• the company's name as a whole phrase.

A bare ticker on its own is never matched, and companies whose name is also an ordinary word (Target, Gap, Block) are not matched by name. We would rather miss a tag than put a story on the wrong stock, so a headline about a company can appear on the wire without its ticker.

Using it#

• Filter by a ticker to see only what names that stock.
• Filter to your portfolio to read the day for your names in one pass.
• Times are shown in US Eastern time. A headline's time is when the publisher says it was published.
