💡 How to Use News Effectively

1. Morning News Scan (3 minutes)

Routine:

  1. Open Feed/Discover

  2. Check Breaking News section

  3. Scan headlines

  4. Tap any relevant ones

  5. Read full articles if interesting

Look for:

  • Overnight news affecting your portfolio

  • Pre-market movers with catalysts

  • Sector trends

  • Economic data releases

Don't:

  • Read every single article

  • Spend hours scrolling

  • React to every headline


2. News → AI → Decision

When you see interesting news:

Step 1: Read the headline

"TSLA Announces Cybertruck Delivery Event"

Step 2: Ask AI about it Go to Chat tab, ask:

  • "What does the Cybertruck news mean for TSLA stock?"

  • "Should I buy TSLA before the delivery event?"

  • "What's the risk if Cybertruck disappoints?"

Step 3: Get AI analysis

AI: "TSLA Cybertruck event is priced in. Stock up 15% this month on hype. Risk/reward not great here. Wait for post-event dip if you want entry."

Step 4: Make informed decision

News → Context → Smart decision


3. Filter Noise from Signal

Not every headline matters.

Ask yourself:

  1. Does this affect my portfolio? If no, skip.

  2. Is this actionable? If no, skip.

  3. Is this time-sensitive? If no, save for later.

  4. Does this change my thesis? If no, skip.

You'll save hours filtering this way.
