Notes

The morning notes and the guides.

Guides explain one term. Daily notes cover the session.

General market news. Not investment advice.

Guide

How the US premarket works

The hours before the 9:30 ET open, and what a print there is not.

Guide

Gap types before the open

The space between the prior close and the premarket print.

Guide

Float and short interest

Two share counts, and the page each one has to come from.

Guide

What a trading halt does

Prints stop. The notice names the reason. Rumors do not.

Guide

Dilution and offerings

New shares, the prospectus, and the three lines that matter.

Guide

How to read an 8-K

The item number is the map. The exhibit is the document.

Guide

Premarket volume

Shares that changed hands before the open, and what a big number is not.

Guide

The risk before the open

Halts, dilution, thin prints, and a record that keeps the misses.
