Earlier quoted context omitted.

Was just going to say basically the same thing, though you are wrong about Business Wire (the source of some original press releases with high value). This site would be better with way fewer sources, paradoxically. Probably 5-7 are all you need. I pay a small fortune for Bloomberg each year and get notifications of all news on a list of stocks ~200 long. Most of the notifications are spammy lawyer press releases. Bl…

If you're long these stocks, shouldn't you ignore most of the news related to them anyway? How does it impact your decision-making? Why is the subscription worth it?

The list is 200 long, no positional information was likely intended

FWIW I don't think that you can really do this without moderation. Financial news is one area where curation shines particularly strongly, considering how strong monetary and information gain collide. Benzinga / Motley Fool / Seeking Alpha / Business Wire / Forbes aren't places to find worthwhile information.

A full public record of posts / pumps correlated by IP, country, device fingerprint, and equities they're pushing... with a free API... now we'd be talking about some interesting reverse engineering.

I strongly suspect that a popular news resource focusing on stocks is liable to be overrun with bots or ‘sponsored content’, either with or without moderators’ blessing/compensation. It’s the niche where information asymmetry and financial gain are so awkwardly close.

Financial news is like a TV channel that plays nothing but commercials. In the sense that every story is trying to get you to do something very specific that enriches the storyteller. I don't know why anybody would want that.

That is not precisely true? When an article runs about a merger announcement, or earnings releases or even a new supplier relationship or big sale agreement... all those things are legitimate news that should affect your expected future cashflows.

You need commentary

I'd go the other way, please don't add commentary and a good way to monetize this kind of site would be to charge for access to a separate related forum/discourse instance. Optionally you could show comments if someone wants to see them on the page (or include a link to the dedicated forum thread for every post). Having commentary on a site like this is a great way to turn into WSB/StockTwits and/or have people attem…

HN biggest achievement is its civil, informative, curated, comment section. Without comments, you have "stock news from 40+ sources", just not "Hacker News-ish".

Motley Fool is really awful. Every article is just click bait trying to get people into their sales funnel.

I couldn’t agree more, it’s terrible and they should be ashamed of themselves for being so useless. I remember when Yahoo Finance was really good as a content aggregator we had dozens of contracts with news sources which you could filter etc. Plus the message boards that were some of the best on the internet. YFin has devolved into something unrecognizable (and horrible).

I have been working on a stock market analytics tool, here is the news section: https://quantale.io/dashboard/latest-news It tracks real-time data from Reddit, Twitter, Newsmedia, SEC Filings and Financial Data of over 10000 stock tickers. It is in super alpha right now so please be more tolerant of bugs and issues. thank you

Hey nice idea- I am looking at building a dashboard style web app like yours. Have you used any frameworks here or rolled your own? - I am on mobile or id take a closer look myself.

Also I'd like to be able to read the reddit comment without having to leave the site if possible. Am liking it though, already been down a few rabbit holes. Good stuff.

I would be willing to pay money for a service that would allow me to a) pick sources (or ability to opt out of certain sources) and b) follow specific tickers and c) mass import tickers (ie ability to cut and paste a huge list of tickers from my watchlists that I want to follow).
