News Based Stock Research Skill

Purpose

Use this skill when a user wants to turn public market news into structured stock research. It helps summarize catalysts, risks, sentiment, possible watchlist ideas, and paper-trading hypotheses.

This skill is educational research only. It must not provide personalized financial advice, guaranteed returns, real order instructions, or real-money trading commands.

When to use

Use this skill for requests like:

  • "Get stock ideas from today’s news."
  • "What stocks are affected by this earnings/news article?"
  • "Build a watchlist from AI / oil / banks / cybersecurity news."
  • "Explain the catalyst, risk, and paper-trade idea for this ticker."
  • "Compare bullish and bearish news for a company."

Required inputs

Ask for or infer safely:

  • Market or region: US, Kuwait, GCC, global, etc.
  • Time horizon: intraday, swing, weekly watchlist, long-term research.
  • User risk preference: conservative, balanced, high-risk watchlist.
  • News source or topic: article links, headlines, sector, ticker, or theme.
  • Whether the output is for watchlist only or paper-trading simulation.

Do not ask for brokerage logins, account balances, private portfolio details, tax details, passwords, OTPs, wallet keys, or paid data credentials.

Workflow

  1. Collect news context

    • Use public, reputable sources when available.
    • Prefer primary sources: company press releases, SEC filings, exchange announcements, earnings reports, central-bank releases, and trusted financial news.
    • If sources are not available, label the answer as based only on the user-provided text.
  2. Classify the news

    • Earnings / guidance
    • Regulation / legal
    • Product launch / partnership
    • Macro / rates / inflation
    • Sector rotation
    • M&A / buyback / dividend
    • Analyst rating / price-target change
    • Security incident / operational disruption
    • Rumor or unverified social media
  3. Extract catalyst and affected tickers

    • Identify direct ticker(s).
    • Identify second-order beneficiaries or losers.
    • Explain why each ticker may move.
    • Mark confidence: High / Medium / Low.
  4. Build balanced thesis

    • Bull case: why the news may help.
    • Bear case: why it may hurt or already be priced in.
    • Key uncertainty: what information is missing.
    • Time sensitivity: immediate, days, weeks, long-term.
  5. Create research output

    • Watchlist ranking, not a buy/sell command.
    • Suggested levels only as educational chart areas when requested.
    • Always include invalidation/risk and a reminder to verify live price and volume.
  6. Optional paper-trade plan

    • Clearly label as PAPER ONLY.
    • Include setup reason, entry idea, stop/invalidation, target idea, and risk warning.
    • Never say "place this order" or imply real execution.

Safety rules

  • Do not give personalized financial advice.

Quality checklist

Before answering, verify:

  • The catalyst is tied to a source or clearly labeled as user-provided.
  • The affected tickers are plausible and not invented.
  • The output includes risk and invalidation.
  • The output is framed as research/watchlist or paper-only simulation.
  • No private data or secrets are requested.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze today’s AI chip news and give me a stock watchlist."

  • "Build a paper-only trade idea from this earnings headline."
  • "Compare bullish and bearish news for NVDA this week."
