Education only. Not financial advice. Signals are clues from public data, not predictions.
Alternative data, explained

The hidden signals behind the stocks you know.

Wall Street pays millions for "alternative data": airport lines, shipping boxes, what people look up online. We pull the free, public versions, compare them with the recent past, and tell you what they might mean in plain English.

Pick a stock

Each company is mapped to two to four indirect signals with real public data behind them. Green dots are tailwinds, red are headwinds, gray is noise or context.

How it works

1

Collect

A scheduled job pulls fresh numbers from public sources like the St. Louis Fed, the SEC, the FDA, the TSA, Wikipedia, and the GDELT news index. No logins, no paywalls, no scraping where it isn't allowed.

2

Compare

Each signal is compared with its own recent past (last 28 days vs the 28 before, or this year vs last year). Small moves inside a noise band are called neutral.

3

Explain

Every card says what the data is, why it might matter for that company, and what it's showing right now, written from the actual numbers. If a source fails, we say so instead of guessing.

Signals we'd love to add

These are ideas, not live data. They're here because they're fun and real investors chase them, but we haven't found a free, frequent public source yet.
