The brief that knows your portfolio.
The journal that tracks your reasoning.

Personalized market briefs before the bell and after the close. A decision journal that compounds your investing wisdom over time.

Built for investors who want to understand their decisions, not just react to headlines.

How It Works

  1. Add your tickers + thesis
    Tell us what you own and why. 30 seconds. No brokerage connection — manual entry only. Your holdings are encrypted and never shared.
  2. Get your brief twice daily
    Before the bell and after the close, your personalized market brief lands in your inbox — customized to the modules you care about.
  3. Revisit your reasoning weekly
    A Sunday thesis check-in pulls you back into your journal. Track what changed, log a new thesis, build a decision track record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this financial advice?▼
No. The Why Markets provides market context and portfolio analysis for informational purposes. We help you understand what happened and why — we never tell you what to buy or sell.
Do I need to connect my brokerage?▼
No. You manually enter your tickers. We never access your brokerage account, and we never see your actual balances or trade history.
What happens after my free trial?▼
The free plan is free forever — you can sign up without a card. To start the Pro trial we capture a card at Stripe checkout; if you don't cancel within the 7 days, the first month's charge runs on day 8. Cancel anytime in Settings.
Where does the data come from?▼
Real-time and delayed market data from Polygon.io and Finnhub. Sector classifications follow the GICS standard. Briefs refresh daily before the bell and after the close.
Can I cancel anytime?▼
Yes. Cancel with one click from your account settings. No questions, no hoops.
How is this different from Morning Brew or ChatGPT?▼
Those give you generic market news. The Why Markets connects every insight to YOUR specific holdings, YOUR concentration risk, and YOUR investment thesis.
