01 · What you get — every morning, in one read

Not a feed. A verdict.

01
Macro driver

Know the macro driver

What moved overnight and the one driver that actually matters for today's session — in plain language.

02
Risk mood

Read the risk mood

Whether the tape is leaning risk-on or risk-off before you act — so you're not positioned against the regime.

03
Crypto context

See the crypto context

BTC and ETH read alongside macro — flows, levels and what they say about risk appetite. Not a separate silo.

04
Levels & events

Get the levels and events

The prints, earnings and levels most likely to move today — ranked, so you watch the right things.

05
Your names

Your names, in context

How the day's driver hits the names you hold and watch — with alerts only when something actually matters.

06
Less noise

Skip the noise

No feeds, no threads, no twelve open tabs. Ten minutes before the open and you're current.

02 · Method — how the read is built

Inputs are commodities. The verdict isn't.

01 · Collect the signal

Every release, every print.

Macro prints, central banks, earnings, crypto flows and single-name news — collected and time-stamped through the night.

  • Macro series
  • Crypto & equities
  • Central banks
02 · Filter the noise

What actually moves markets?

Each event is weighed against comparable prints — what equities, the dollar, gold and crypto typically did next. Most of it gets cut.

  • Historical analogues
  • 1d · 5d · 1m windows
  • Ranked by impact
03 · Deliver the read

One brief, before the open.

Mood, driver, sectors and names — in your inbox and console before the bell. Every read stays in the archive, including the misses.

  • Before the open, daily
  • Inbox · web console
  • Permanent archive
03 · Track record — recent reads, kept on file

The calls stay on the record.

04 · Sample — read a real issue

This is what lands.

Issue 014 · 19 May 2026 · Pre-open Risk-off

Higher for longer, again.

CPI came in hot at 3.5% against a 3.1% consensus — a +0.4pp surprise that resets the rate-cut clock. Comparable prints have historically pressured equities into the close while the dollar firmed and gold found a bid within two sessions. The read for the open: defensives over cyclicals, dollar strength, and caution on rate-sensitive growth.

Every ticker, taken apart.

FULL COMPANY ANALYSIS

One screen.
The whole thesis.

Every name in coverage gets the same institutional treatment — an intrinsic value model with its assumptions stated, a peer table, the full recommendation history and the events most likely to move the stock next.

  • Intrinsic value model — fair value vs market price, assumptions shown.
  • Versus peers — P/E, yield and beta against direct comparables.
  • Recommendation history — every call, dated and measured.
  • Events to watch — earnings, launches and ex-dividend dates.

On the record
hits, misses and partials stay public

I used to spend an hour each morning lost in financial news, still unsure what it meant for my book. Now I read the brief in ten minutes and I actually know what's driving the session.

✦
Early-access userequities · beta feedback

The moment I understood that a CPI surprise isn't just a number — that it moves specific sectors in repeatable ways — everything clicked. That context changed how I prepare.

✦
Early-access usermacro & crypto · beta feedback

What I trust is the honesty. When a read only partly plays out, it stays on the record. No cherry-picking. That transparency is why I kept reading.

✦
Early-access userindependent · beta feedback

Notes from private-beta users. Individual experiences — not performance claims or verified reviews.

09 · FAQ — the honest answers

Before you ask.

Yes. Many of our readers are first-time or early-stage investors. The brief is designed to be clear to anyone, with no prior knowledge assumed. If you want to understand why markets move the way they do — and what to do about it — you're in the right place. The Essential plan is free, so you can judge for yourself before spending anything.
No. Quant Goblin publishes research and macro reads, not personalised investment advice. We are not a regulated investment adviser. The content is informational; your trading and investment decisions are your own. Read the full disclaimer in the footer.
Terminals and pro data feeds give you the data. Quant Goblin gives you the verdict. A terminal shows CPI prints in real time; we tell you what comparable prints have historically done to equities over the next sessions, and where the read stands. Different product, different price.
Most market newsletters arrive at the writer's convenience, after the move. The Quant Goblin read lands before the open, structured the same way every session — regime, tone, names — so you can act on it, not just read it.
Every subscriber gets the daily brief by email before the open, plus the web console. The full archive is permanent and searchable. A mobile app is on the roadmap, not the present.
Yes — any time, no questions: cancelling stops the next billing cycle, and access runs to the end of the period already paid. Because this is digital content with immediate access, payments are final once you expressly request that access at checkout and acknowledge losing the EU 14-day withdrawal right (you confirm this in separate checkboxes before paying). Statutory exceptions — duplicate payment, billing error, non-supply — always apply. See the Refund Policy.
Yes — Essential is free forever. The condensed pre-open read, the calendar and a focused watchlist, no card required. Upgrade only if you want the full desk.
Every plan is a single seat. Essential and Plus are personal; Ultimate is one analyst’s desk. For a team or shared desk, write to abfinance@gmail.com and we’ll set it up properly. Please don’t share one login across users — we don’t watch you, but we do ask.
It stays on the record. The track record keeps hits, misses and partials in the open — read it before you subscribe. No read is right every time; pretending otherwise would be the bigger problem. Honesty about the misses is the point.
