A note from Alex
Hey, I'm Alex. I spent three and a half years at Bloomberg writing breaking-news pieces about the kind of trades that move tickers in after-hours, and what I learned is that the news cycle moves a lot faster than the explanations do.
That's the gap I'm here to close. When a major insider files a Form 4 at 4:31pm, you should know about it by 5:00 — not in tomorrow's morning newsletter. And you should know what's actually new about it, not just that it happened.
I'll keep my pieces short, my numbers exact, and my opinions out of the lede. If something I wrote ages badly, I'll say so on the record.
