About Tuck

Why We Built This

Bloomberg terminals run tens of thousands per year. Premium congressional trade trackers charge hundreds per month. Real-time options flow, dark pool prints, geopolitical event tagging — all gated behind paywalls that working-class investors can’t justify.

Meanwhile the people most hurt by market manipulation — retirees, gig workers, immigrants, public-housing kids, anyone whose 401k is their only shot — are the ones cut off from the information that would protect them.

So we built Tuck. One man’s study tool, scaled up and given away. No tiers. No upsells. No "premium" version. Same data, same speed, free for everyone.

What We Are

• An OSINT aggregator. We pull from 14+ public RSS feeds (Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, Axios, Dawn, Kashmir Observer, CounterPunch) and tag every signal with geopolitical region, market impact, and sentiment.
• A congressional trade tracker. Every STOCK Act filing within 45 days of disclosure, surfaced in plain English. Built on top of the QuiverQuant feed.
• A study watchlist. Nine tickers we actively study — semis, defense, oil, AI — with real-time price, 52w range, market cap, and a plain-English "why does this matter" breakdown for every one.
• A macro dashboard. Fed rate, Treasury yields, VIX, DXY, oil, BTC. Updated every 5 minutes.

What We Will Never Do

• ❌ Sell your data. We don’t collect any.
• ❌ Show you ads.
• ❌ Charge subscriptions.
• ❌ Accept Payment for Order Flow (PFOF) kickbacks. We’re not a broker.
• ❌ Give you investment advice. Every tooltip and section is educational. Always do your own research.
• ❌ Require an account. No email, no login, no tracking pixels. Open the page — you’re in.

The OSINT Advantage

Traditional financial news is reactive — by the time CNBC reports a story, the trade is done. Tuck pulls from upstream OSINT sources (open-source intelligence): geopolitical feeds, defense journals, regional outlets, congressional filings. We surface what’s happening before it becomes mainstream.

Every news signal is tagged with a market impact score (0–1) and a geopolitical region. Filter by Iran/Hormuz, China/Taiwan, Ukraine, Israel/Gaza, Domestic, or Fed/Macro. See what’s actually moving the needle in real time.

Who We Are

VPDLNY — the Vulnerable Persons Defense League of New York — is a loose collective of techies, artists, researchers, and OSINT practitioners. We use information and knowledge to defend vulnerable people against powerful entities. Never violence. Just sunlight, structure, and shared infrastructure.

Tuck is one of our public-facing tools. Other projects: War Heat Map (global conflict tracking), CapWatch (congressional trade intel), and several private tools for researchers and defenders.

A Note on "Tuck’s Watchlist"

The nine stocks on the homepage aren’t recommendations. They’re a study set — tickers our editorial team actively monitors across semis, defense, oil, and AI. Showing them lets us demo the platform’s data depth on a manageable list. Do not buy these stocks because they’re here. Use the page to learn how to research, then build your own list.
