About The Dispatch.
The Dispatch was founded on a small, unfashionable conviction: that most investors would make better decisions if they did less, read more, and stared at fewer charts. We are not a terminal. We are a research desk.
Every ticker submitted returns a structured memo — fundamentals, technicals, sentiment, risks, catalysts — composed from live market data. No proprietary algorithms. No black-box signals. Every number is labeled with its source; every statement is tied to the evidence behind it. What you see is what a diligent analyst would produce, performed in seconds rather than hours.
The method.
We read every stock along three dimensions: Fundamentals (growth, profitability, balance sheet), Technicals (trend structure, momentum, volatility), and Sentiment (analyst consensus, news flow). We don’t boil them down to a score or a rating. A number like that looks precise, but it’s really a judgment, and the judgment should be yours.
We favor durable businesses over momentum trades. We treat volatility as information, not risk. We believe that a well-named uncertainty is more useful than a confident prediction. If you want someone to tell you what to buy, you should hire an advisor; if you want to read carefully and decide for yourself, we built this for you.
The Time Machine.
Every memo is a snapshot of a moment — but moments are worth revisiting. The Time Machine lets you pick any date within the last three years and see the memo as it would have read then, with technicals and sentiment recalculated from that day’s data. Fundamentals are held back rather than shown stale, since point-in-time filings aren’t something we can honestly reconstruct after the fact.
Pull up a memo from six months ago and compare it directly to the live one. Did the thesis hold? What changed, and why? Hindsight is usually wasted on investors who never write anything down. We’d rather you could check your own work.
What we are not.
The Dispatch does not offer investment advice. Our memos are descriptive summaries of public information — useful context for your own thinking, not substitutes for it. We don’t rate stocks, score them, or set price targets. Markets will continue to surprise everyone, including us.
Who’s behind this.
Everything above is written as “we,” because that’s how research usually reads — but The Dispatch is built and run by one person. I’m Eli Poteet, a finance student at the University of New Hampshire. I built this because I actually trade, and if I’m being honest I’m not particularly good at it yet, which is part of why I built it. I got tired of juggling six tabs and a spreadsheet just to get a straight answer on a stock I already cared about, so I wanted one page that did the reading for me and showed its work. I use it on my own every day, and the goal isn’t just to have prettier numbers in front of me, it’s to actually develop a strategy I can trust and get better at trading over time.
There’s no team here, no compliance desk, no firm — just someone building the tool he wished existed. If you spot something wrong, have a ticker you think the engine gets wrong, or just want to talk shop, reach out. I read everything.
