Notebook, not advice.

MarketHoundLab is a public market notebook. Charts, quotes, and boards are for context and learning — not recommendations.

What this site is

• Observed public data, shown with sources and timestamps when available.
• Bounded interpretation: what the series is, not what you should buy or sell.
• A place to keep macro glances readable without guru certainty.

What this site is not

• Not investment, trading, tax, or legal advice.
• Not a signal service, portfolio model, or performance track record.
• Not a broker, adviser, or personalized recommendation engine.

Data limits

Quotes and official series can lag, gap, or fail. Cached or fixture views may appear when a live feed is unavailable. Always treat on-page numbers as a glance, and verify against the cited source before acting on anything outside this site.

Reading the boards

• MMbbl = million barrels — the stockpile unit used on the energy board.
• "vs prior week" = change from the previous weekly report.
• Seasonal context = where this week's number ranks against the same calendar week (±1) over the past 10 years. The indicator next to it shows that level — battery for stocks, ring for utilization — and the color marks the direction the board watches: low stocks and low utilization are the tight-supply signals.

Energy boards use U.S. EIA data. Some other boards use interim quote sources (e.g., Yahoo Finance) until official APIs land — each board's source line names what it uses.
