What should a morning note include?
The holdings that moved, the filing or headline behind a move when there is one, and anything reporting that day. If nothing changed, the useful note says so.
- Moves in your book
- A source when there is one
- Quiet when nothing changed
When does the US regular session open?
The New York Stock Exchange regular session opens at 9:30 a.m. New York time on trading days. A pre-market brief is meant to arrive before that, at a time you choose.
What is a brief not for?
It is not a signal to trade at the open, and it is not a guarantee that the note caught every headline. Check the source on anything you will act on.
