|Hammerstone: Breaking a Major Story with Highly Actionable News: The “No-Sail Order” Lift
At 1:45 PM on Friday, October 30th, the Hammerstone Feed broke a story on the Street that the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) announced that they were lifting the no-sail order on the cruise liner industry. The Hammerstone Feed post was a full 1-2 minutes before other news outlets and chatrooms picked up the Miami Herald story & CDC document link. Hammerstone’s post was a full 1-2 minutes prior to spikes in the shares of the 3 main cruisers: Carnival Corp. ($CCL), Royal Caribbean Cruises ($RCL) and Norwegian Cruise Lines ($NCLH). The cruise liner shares actually dipped slightly lower in the time between Hammerstone’s breaking news and the rest of the street catching up to the Hammerstone post.
Hammerstone’s goal is to find breaking news from a myriad of sources, posting it ASAP and positioning our subscribers to make a potential trading decision. The Hammerstone team fulfilled their goal this past Friday in breaking the CDC announcement. As one subscriber said, “Hammer had so early, best call of the week.”
