Frequently asked questions
The catalysts behind today’s biggest stock moves on TheDesperateTrader.
- Why are stocks moving today?
- Individual stocks move on catalysts: earnings, guidance, analyst upgrades or downgrades, SEC filings, mergers, FDA decisions, and news. This page lists Monday, Jul 20's biggest gainers and losers and pairs each with the freshest news or filing behind its move, so you can see the actual reason rather than guess.
- How do you find the catalyst behind each move?
- For each of the day's biggest movers we pull its latest company news and SEC filings and surface the freshest, most relevant item near the move. If there is no clear recent catalyst, we leave the stock off rather than show an old headline as a false cause.
- Why is the whole market up or down today?
- Broad market moves usually come from macro drivers: Federal Reserve decisions and rate expectations, inflation and jobs data, big-tech earnings, and geopolitical or policy news. When most sectors move the same direction together, it is typically macro rather than any single stock.
- Where can I see the full story and chart for a stock?
- Tap any ticker to open its dedicated "why is it moving" page with the catalyst, volume and scanner alerts, then its live chart. You can also set a free alert to get pinged the next time it moves on unusual volume.
