The Small Print · US stocks
We read the small print,
so you don’t have to.
A US-listed company cannot quietly change its chief executive, buy a competitor, lose an auditor or restate its accounts. It has to file a document with the SEC. About two hundred land every working day. We read all of them, tell you about the ones on your list the moment they appear, and every morning send you the ones worth knowing from the whole market.

What you receive
When a company tells the SEC,
you hear it too.
The real format, by email or Telegram, in English or Italian.
One sentence, then the document
The sentence is ours: plain words, no jargon, written only from what the filing actually says. Everything under it is the company’s own: the official event category as the SEC defines it, and a link straight to the document on sec.gov.
We report what was filed. We don’t tell you what it means for the share price, because we don’t know and neither does anyone selling you that answer.
What it can tell you about
The SEC defines roughly thirty categories of reportable event. You choose which ones are worth interrupting your day for.
People
A chief executive, chief financial officer or director arriving, leaving, or being removed.
Deals
An acquisition or disposal completed, a material agreement entered into or terminated.
Money
Earnings released, new debt taken on, a company saying it can no longer rely on accounts it published.
Trouble
Bankruptcy, delisting notices, auditors resigning, impairments large enough to require disclosure.
Ownership
Shares issued, control changing hands, and changes to the rights attached to the shares.
Everything else
Any other category the SEC lists — switch on the ones you want and ignore the rest.
The morning edition
The whole market,
once a day.
Instant alerts are only for the companies you follow: two hundred filings a day would bury you. Everything else worth knowing arrives in one email in the morning — one plain sentence per company, its official category, the link — and nothing in between. It also opens in your browser, larger and easier to read.
Only real events
Filings that only attach a press release or an exhibit are left out. If nothing happened, nothing is sent.
A cap, and the count
Past twenty-five items it stops being a newspaper. We keep the ones most likely to matter and tell you how many we left out.
In your language
In English or Italian, with the SEC categories translated faithfully. Every figure stays exactly as filed.

Questions.
Isn’t SEC data free?
Completely, and we’ll link you to it on every alert. Roughly two hundred documents are filed every working day, most of them routine, and the categories are written for lawyers. You are paying for the reading and the one sentence that tells you whether this one is worth your time.
How fast is “the moment they appear”?
Usually a few minutes after the document appears on EDGAR. We don’t claim milliseconds: if you need to react faster than a few minutes you need a direct market data feed, not us.
Does it tell me whether to buy or sell?
No. It tells you what was filed and gives you the link. What it means for the price is a judgement, and it’s yours to make.
Who writes the plain sentence?
A language model, working only from the filing itself, with hard limits: it cannot introduce a number or a date that isn’t in the document, and it cannot describe anything it wasn’t sent. When it has nothing solid to say, the alert falls back to the official category and the link. The Italian version keeps every figure exactly as filed, or the alert goes out in English.
Is there software to install?
No. It runs on our servers and reaches you by email or Telegram.
