Companies now return more cash to shareholders through buybacks than dividends. Here's how the mechanics actually work — and why the debate over whether they help or hurt long-term investors is more nuanced than the headlines suggest.
No fluff. No paywalls. No "buy this stock" pitch. Just the signal.
Every week we run through the same indicators institutional desks use — VIX, market breadth, moving averages, options flow. You get the summary in plain English.
We're not here to recap what already moved. We write about what the data is setting up before it becomes news. That's the only version of this that's worth reading.
No brokerage deals. No sponsored stock picks. No commission on what we cover. If something's in the newsletter, it's because the data made us look at it — not because someone paid us to.
We cover what institutional money is watching before it makes headlines. Drop your email and we'll send you today's breakdown.
