Stay informed without making it a second job
ReadTheTape brings together the narratives circulating around assets, how they change, and the articles behind them. Start with an asset, explore its narratives, and form your own view.
Why narratives?
An investment can attract several competing narratives at once. Tracking which ones gain or lose attention helps you understand what the coverage is saying.
The idea that stories spread, fade and return through markets is the subject of Robert Shiller’s Narrative Economics (2019). Our stage definitions come from the coverage we record, not from his book, and his work does not validate our measurements.
How we work
The site uses automated classification and summarisation of published coverage. The methodology explains how readings are produced and where interpretation can be imprecise.
Independence
ReadTheTape does not accept payment to feature an asset, theme or outlet. The readings describe coverage and are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold.
