Free tools now compete with brokerages on research and AI

Not every investor needs a brokerage to follow the market. Free tools let people watch prices, keep a watchlist and see why a stock moved without paying for a terminal. One example is Quote Daddy, a free stock-tracking app for web, iPhone and Android. It offers live watchlists for U.S. stocks and ETFs, interactive charts, alerts, and insider activity drawn from SEC Form 4 filings. It also tracks the latest SEC 13F holdings of well-known investors and congressional disclosed trades.

Vancouver – September 15, 2026 -- Indochino has launched Hold the Room, its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign and collection, built around the idea that tailoring should serve an entire season of evenings rather than a single occasion. The made-to-measure menswear brand, which operates showrooms across the US and Canada, is rolling out the collection now both in stores and at indochino.com.

The campaign follows four friends across a single weekend, told in three chapters that move from a rainy afternoon arrival to a formal dinner on the final night.
