What stocksbrew is and is not

stocksbrew helps you analyse and track US stocks. You tell it what you own and what you are watching. Each day it tells you what moved, why when we can confirm a reason, and what is coming up. Everything else in the product exists to help you check an idea before you act on it somewhere else.

What it is#

• A daily briefing. One ordered read of what happened to your names, with the items that need a decision first. See How to read a briefing.
• A portfolio you type in. Holdings with a size and a cost, and a list of names you only watch. See Adding holdings.
• A report on every stock we cover. Price, financials, valuation, earnings, ownership, news, and our call. See How to read a stock report.
• A research desk. A news wire, a calendar, a screener, idea baskets, side-by-side comparison, other markets, SEC filings and crowd signals.
• Public filings turned into something you can follow. Fund 13F filings, House trade disclosures and insider Form 4s, each measured from the day the public could first see them.
• Rules you can test. Strategies with a backtest and a live record kept apart, and a backtester you can run on your own tickers.
• Agents that watch for you. A standing job checks a rule on a schedule, an event or a price, and writes down what it found every time, including when it found nothing.
• Ask. A chat that answers from our data and shows where each number came from.

What it is not#

• Not a broker. We do not connect to a brokerage or a bank, and we cannot place, change or cancel a trade. There is no code in the product that can.
• Not an investment adviser. The call on a stock is produced by fixed rules from public data. It does not know your income, your taxes or what else you own outside the app.
• Not a live quote screen. Prices are fetched in batches, not tick by tick. Every price shows the time it is from. See Where the data comes from.
• Not a predictor. A backtest describes the past. A call describes the evidence today. Neither tells you what a stock will do next.
• Not global. We cover US-listed stocks and funds. Other markets appear on Markets as context only.

Who it is for#

Someone who follows a handful to a few dozen US stocks, makes their own decisions, and wants to stop reopening the same tabs every morning. If you trade intraday on live order flow, this is the wrong tool.
