DIBs Report Roadmap

The Daily Intelligence Briefing (DIBS) reports are deep dives into a subject undergoing transformational change that MRP is examining to determine if there is an opportunity to generate alpha. The Friday DIBs is a weekly wrap-up. The process employed was developed by Joe McAlinden over his 50 plus-year, Wall Street career. More about Joe here.

The way to best utilize the report is to glance at the Market Insight topic and those covered in the Updates section, to decide if there’s something that day to explore further. If so, dig in. If not, we missed you that day. Over the course of a month you’re likely to find quite a few.
