About
What this is
News for 7yrs old takes financial news and explains it in plain English: what happened, why investors care, what the catalyst was, and what the difficult words mean.
What this is not
This site explains the news. It is not investment advice and does not recommend buying or selling any security.
Where the news comes from
News is provided by:
This site is an explanation layer. Every story links to the original article at its source.
How the explanations are written
Explanations are generated from the headline and the summary the news provider supplies. We do not copy full articles. Sections marked "From the article" contain only facts found in that text; sections marked "Our explanation" are our interpretation of why it might matter.
Reporting a bad explanation will send it to us for review once explanations are generated by a model. Today every explanation is hand-written demo content, so there is nothing to report yet.
The glossary
Difficult words are defined once, in one place, so a term means the same thing on every story.
