The Angle
What the story implied that day · what would have changed it · your side, graded
Why there is no house call
AlgoThesis is a memory, not a tipster. Every story shows what it implied for its companies on the day it ran and what would have changed that read — both kept as written, with the stock’s verified closes beside them afterwards. We don’t pick a side. You can, and we grade yours against the same licensed prices.
Disclosure
Wire stories are assembled by software from public sources — licensed market data, SEC filings, and published news. The system has no knowledge of anyone’s holdings. The author may or may not hold positions in securities covered here, and does not trade a covered name in the two trading days surrounding its publication. Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
How a read is kept
Every story gets an anchor stamped on the session it ran: the headline, the source, the companies it touches, and the case for and against as it stood that day. Nothing is back-dated.
The read is what the story implied for its companies on the day — the bull case, the bear case, and the condition that would have changed the read. It is a receipt of that day's evidence, not a call to act on.
Once the anchor is written it stays as written. Later coverage joins the story only when the company and catalyst evidence match; it never rewrites what the first story said.
Verified closing prices from the licensed end-of-day feed sit beside the anchor from then on. Price is context for your judgment — the page never claims one headline caused a move.
AlgoThesis does not print “we think this goes up.” It keeps the memory and leaves the judgment with you. The AI-with-a-scoreboard is a different product; this one is the record of what the news said.
The reading habit this supports is written up as the Story Method; the mission is on the About page.
How your side is graded
Bull or bear, once. There is no changing your mind or undoing it afterward — that's what makes it a call instead of a running opinion.
Graded from the close on/after the session you actually tapped — not the story's publish date. Two readers who side on the same story a week apart are graded from two different entries.
Ten trading days out, priced from the same official closing feed used everywhere on the site. A story with no primary U.S. stock is recorded as your opinion but never graded — there's nothing to price.
Only you see your record. Nothing about it is public unless you're viewing the crowd split on a story you've already sided on — and even then it's a split, never a name.
A side you take before signing in lives on your device and carries over when you do, but it's timestamped at signup, not at the tap — so it's graded for you privately and is never counted in any public split or record.
The crowd's split on a story only appears after you've taken your own side, and only once enough readers have. Seeing it first would just anchor your pick to the crowd's — which defeats the point of asking.
AlgoThesis does not publish a house directional call. Stories show what they implied on the day and what would have changed that read. Your own bull/bear sides are hypothetical and personal to you — they are not investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
