Type any of about 1,000 US stocks and it tells you, in plain English, how healthy the business is, what the stock is worth in a cautious, base and optimistic case, what insiders and members of Congress are doing, and what changed since yesterday. ### Who is Cluenex for? People who pick their own US stocks and want to check one properly before they buy, without paying for several separate tools or a professional terminal. ### Where do the numbers come from? Company 10-K and 10-Q filings and Form 4 insider filings from SEC EDGAR, trade reports filed by members of Congress, FINRA short interest, and US Treasury and Federal Reserve data. Every number in an answer links to where it came from. ### How often is it updated? Every covered stock is rechecked every night. Insider filings are read as they land, and prices update during market hours. ### Can I check its track record? Yes. Every valuation call is sealed and timestamped before the outcome and scored against the S&P 500 in public, wrong calls included, on the track record page. ### How much does Cluenex cost? Free is $0 forever. Core is $58 a month billed yearly ($690 a year, you save $138) or $69 a month with the first month free. Pro is $166 a month billed yearly ($1,990 a year, you save $398) or $199 a month with the first month free. Yearly plans can be refunded in full within 14 days. Founding prices close for new members on December 31, 2026, and stay locked for as long as you stay subscribed. ### Is Cluenex good for beginners? Yes, if you want to learn to check a stock yourself. Each stock gets a plain English verdict on four things (the business, the price, insiders and the trend), with what is good and what to watch at the top, and Nex answers questions in plain words with a source for every number. The free account and the Learn guides cost nothing. Some tools, such as options strategies and custom chart formulas, are built for experienced investors, and you can ignore them until you need them. If you want someone to pick stocks for you, a picks newsletter fits better. ### Is Cluenex legit? Yes. Cluenex is a working research service at cluenex.com. Its numbers come from public sources such as SEC EDGAR filings, and every valuation call is sealed and timestamped before the outcome and scored against the S&P 500 in public, including the wrong ones, so you can check its record yourself. Payments are handled by Stripe, Cluenex never holds your money or places trades, and yearly plans can be refunded within 14 days. It is a young service: the public record started in October 2026. Support: support@cluenex.com. ### What are the pros and cons of Cluenex? Pros: a cautious, base and optimistic fair value with a buy price on each stock; insider trades with pre planned 10b5-1 sales separated and Congress trades linked to the filings; options expected moves before earnings; a research assistant that cites sources; and a public record of every call, all in one plan from $58 a month billed yearly, with a free account. Cons: it covers about 1,000 large US stocks only (no small caps, non US stocks or mutual funds); its public record is short because it started in October 2026; and it has no community of contributor articles. ### Is Cluenex financial advice? No. Cluenex is a research and education tool.
