There are two activities I enjoy a lot. One of them is investing and the other one is building products. InsideArbitrage allows me to combine both and this year we have started rolling out a lot of projects we had in our pipeline. Last week we released our new Merger Calendar for premium subscribers and this week we are excited to launch a new stock screener that is free for everyone.
When I initially started out investing, I used to use screeners a lot. It was exciting to come up with a formula, generate a bunch of ideas and then refine the formula to build a narrow universe of companies to research. Over time I changed my idea generation process and for the most part now rely on event-driven strategies like merger arbitrage, spinoffs, insider transactions, etc. to generate ideas for me.
