The Week in Markets — introduction to the former format (archive)

Let's bring some structure to the trading week. From now on, we meet at two points: before it begins and after all the information is available.

We look at companies reporting earnings, what the market already expects and the questions worth following. What would be a positive surprise? What would change our minds? We begin with a few clear ideas to revisit.

We put together the market's performance, the sectors that stood out and what companies told us. Then we revisit Sunday's questions: what was confirmed, what surprised us and what we now see differently.

I find following a story from beginning to end more useful than gathering unrelated news.

I have also prepared the website page where the two editions will sit together:
The Week in Markets — all editions

On Patreon, they are in the same collection, while each edition will have its own discussion on Discord. The Earnings Calendar remains separate for dates and times.

The first retrospective covers October 26–30, on Saturday, October 31. On Sunday, November 1, we look ahead to November 2–6.

What do you check first when the week ends: the companies in your portfolio or the market as a whole?
