We analyze publicly available
institutional activity —
and explain what it suggests.

WhaleQuorum is a weekly research newsletter that aggregates and interprets publicly available institutional market data — off-exchange dark pool prints, congressional STOCK Act disclosures, unusual options activity, and institutional 13F filings — using AI-assisted analysis with mandatory human review. Every Sunday at 6PM ET we publish our top 3 research ideas. This is educational research, not investment advice.

No and no. WhaleQuorum is not a registered investment adviser and does not provide personalized investment advice. We are a financial research newsletter operating under the publisher exemption of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Everything we publish is for informational and educational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions. Always consult a licensed financial professional.

We aggregate four independent publicly available data sources: (1) FINRA Alternative Trading System (ATS) data for off-exchange dark pool activity, (2) STOCK Act congressional trade disclosures from the SEC, (3) options market flow data tracking unusual premium activity, and (4) SEC 13F quarterly institutional position filings. All of these are public records. We interpret and score them — we do not create or manufacture any data. Perplexity Sonar provides live web research context per idea.

No — AI never decides which stocks to include. The confidence score is computed by a deterministic algorithm with fixed rules — same data always produces the same score. AI is used two ways: Perplexity Sonar searches the live web for earnings context and analyst notes, and Claude writes the plain-English explanation. A human editor then reads every report before it publishes and can edit or reject any idea. The human is the editor, not the AI.

Free subscribers receive the #1 ranked research idea every Sunday at 6PM ET — the complete report including signal breakdown, AI analysis, price target, and key risk. It is the full report, not a teaser. Pro subscribers ($49/month) receive all three research ideas with complete analysis, plus live alerts when significant dark pool prints, congressional disclosures, or options sweeps are detected. The full historical database is also accessible to Pro subscribers.

Every research idea shows the stock's price at the moment the report was published — Sunday at 6PM ET. This is important for transparency: it lets you see exactly what price the analysis was based on, track how the idea has performed since publication, and evaluate the accuracy of our price targets. We do not retroactively change entry prices. What you see is what was published.

Dark pools are private trading venues where institutional investors execute large block trades away from public exchanges. According to FINRA data, approximately 40-45% of all US equity trading volume flows through dark pools. Institutions use them to avoid moving prices against themselves when building large positions. When we detect a $200M+ dark pool print in a single stock, it indicates a fund deliberately accumulating a position. This data is public (FINRA reports it) but requires sophisticated interpretation to use effectively.
