Alerts and Minutes

Eric made some updates to the site over the weekend, so you'll see a couple of new things. The first is an alert button, which will show any new messages we've posted to the site. These could be anything from new content to site updates to data issues. They'll clear once you click the bell icon on any device.

The other is "Premium Minutes." I've published brief intraday notes off and on since starting the service in 2001, and it was always clunky. With improvements that Eric has made, we're now able to do it in a more streamlined manner.

These are just quick, informal snippets, like a journal of anything that piques my interest. Some might turn into longer notes, while others are just things I'm watching. If you'd like to see a digest of them at the end of the day, you can receive that email. Currently, we're not emailing them as they're published, but if there is enough interest, we could enable that as well - it would be opt-in only, so not everyone is inundated with emails.

The content structure of the site is now:

Minutes - brief, informal snippets published throughout the day [premium]

Notes - longer-form research and studies [premium]

Reports - a daily summary of our indicators and models, along with 1-2 pieces of research as we've always done [basic and premium]
