Explained
On my YouTube channel I explain the financial news and the concepts behind it in under a minute. Every number in these shorts comes from the Finance Toolkit MCP server, the same server any AI assistant can connect to, so each short doubles as an example of a question you can ask your own assistant. The description of each short says which data was used and where the news came from.
Two series
News Explained and Finance Explained
News Explained
A headline, checked against the numbers
One story from that day's news, such as an earnings report, a takeover or a market sell-off, and the question the headline leaves open. Is a beat-and-raise cheap after a fall? What is an all-stock deal worth after the buyer's shares drop? The answer comes from prices, financial statements and valuation models.
Finance Explained
One concept, with today's example
One measure from finance, such as beta or the relative strength index: its formula, what a current reading says about a well-known company, and the pitfall that comes with it.
