Methodology

This page explains how names get added, what we leave out, how delayed quotes are handled, and where the site's limits are.

How the watchlist is built

A stock appears only when the reason can be explained with public information, business context, and visible risks.

Selection rules

  1. 01Large or widely followed US-listed companies that readers are already likely to compare.
  2. 02Business lines that can be checked through earnings, guidance, product cycles, or sector demand.
  3. 03Enough public information to explain both the reason for watching and the main risks without leaning on rumors.
  4. 04A natural fit with the site’s current themes: AI infrastructure, cloud software, semiconductors, capital return, and platform businesses.

What we leave out

  • Stocks that require a short-term trading signal to justify inclusion.
  • Companies where the main story depends on unverified rumors or promotional claims.
  • Illiquid or obscure tickers that do not fit the first-release research scope.

Data and review boundaries

Prices, source notes, and editorial updates are shown as research context. They are not real-time trading signals.

Quote data

Stock profiles are maintained in local editorial data files. Quote data is read from a local delayed snapshot at public/data/quotes.json.

Browser-rendered public pages do not call third-party quote APIs directly.

Page review

Updates should improve clarity, risk balance, data-source accuracy, internal linking, or the visible relationship between company notes and delayed quote context.

  • The watchlist is not a ranking and is not personalized investment advice.
  • Delayed prices may not match the latest market price.
  • Readers should still review filings, earnings releases, valuation, and their own risk tolerance before making investment decisions.
