What Pip is (and what it isn't)
Your personal radar for the individual US stocks you own — it knows the why behind each holding, and keeps watch on whether the world still lines up with it.
Pip is your personal radar for the individual US stocks you own. It knows the why behind each one — the reason you bought it — and on your cadence (every trading day or week) it reads the world against that reason: price, company news, SEC filings, insider trades, earnings. It tells you what happened and why it matters, in plain English, with a source next to each point, and keeps watch on whether the world still lines up with your why. It lives in your Telegram, takes about two minutes, and the call always stays yours.
What Pip is
- A briefing, not a feed to scrape — one message per briefing, only what's worth your time.
- Reads many signals, and connects them to your why — price, company news, SEC filings, insider trades, earnings; Pip works out how each one, alone or in combination, bears on the reason you own the stock. Holding all of that at once — and telling signal from noise — is the part that's genuinely hard to do yourself.
- On your cadence — a briefing every trading day, or a single one each week; whichever fits how closely you follow your names. Pip runs on the market's calendar.
- Sourced, always — every point comes with a link you can open and check.
- Plain English — jargon gets defined in the briefing itself.
- Private — just you and Pip, in your own Telegram. No brokerage login.
What Pip isn't
- Not investment advice. It never tells you what to buy, sell, or hold. Pip is for research and education — the decision is always yours.
- Not a fortune-teller. It won't say where a price is going. It shows what already happened and why it might matter. Sight, not prophecy.
- Not a chatbot to babysit. You set it up once; the briefing comes to you. No prompting all day.
- Not plugged into your money. You just tell it what you own — no brokerage link, nothing sensitive to hand over.
What Pip covers — for now
Today, Pip follows individual US-listed stocks — the kind you buy one ticker at a time. It doesn't yet cover ETFs and funds, options, crypto, or stocks listed outside the US. Those are on the roadmap — more instruments will come as Pip grows. If you hold a handful of US names you picked on purpose, Pip is built for exactly that.
Who Pip is for
Pip is for the self-directed investor who picks their own stocks and wants to stay on top of them without living inside a trading app. This is you if:
- You own a few individual US stocks you chose on purpose — and you'd rather understand them than be told what to do.
- You want to catch the thing that actually matters — a filing, an earnings shift — without reading ten tabs.
- You value making your own call. Pip makes you sharper; you stay in charge.
(If you only hold index funds, or you day-trade on the ticks, Pip probably isn't built for you — yet.)
Why Telegram — and not WhatsApp?
Two reasons, and the first is about you. On Telegram you never hand Pip your phone number — you talk to it by its handle, and Pip only sees a chat, not your number. That's the same promise as never connecting your brokerage: nothing sensitive to hand over.
Second, Telegram is built for what Pip does — one quiet briefing on your cadence, with tap-to-open sources and buttons, sent instantly and free. It also keeps Pip in its own chat, out of your personal threads. WhatsApp may come later — today, Pip is sharpest on Telegram.
