About The Daily Primer

The Daily Primer is a free market briefing published every weekday morning. Each edition covers what actually moved markets, a snapshot of the key indicators, a look at the economic events worth watching, and one investing concept explained clearly — so you don't just know what happened, you understand a little more of why each day.

The same briefing, written three ways

Most financial news picks one audience and loses everyone else. Every Daily Primer is written at three reading levels — Plain English for people who've never read financial news, Student for those comfortable with the basics, and Pro for readers who want it terse and technical. Same facts, same numbers, different wording. Use the toggle at the top of any briefing to pick yours; your choice is remembered on your device.

Who makes this

I'm Lane Tomlinson, a finance student at Ouachita Baptist University. I built The Daily Primer to sharpen my own understanding of markets by explaining them in public — and to share that habit with anyone who wants to start their day a little smarter. If you have feedback or an idea that would make this better, I'd genuinely like to hear it.
