What the Talking
Headge Said.
Talking heads on US markets publish on their own YouTube channels and X handles. Headge turns those posts and videos into short, source-backed views of who said it, about what, which direction, and over which horizon, so the catch-up takes fifteen minutes.

Peter Schiff BEARISH

How Headge Works
- 01
Discover
Talking heads publish on their own YouTube channels and X handles. Headge credits the speaker, never the venue that hosted them.
- 02
Place
Each directional claim lands on one topic, with a horizon and a source. If it cannot be placed confidently, there is No View — not a guess.
- 03
Read
Start with Latest, then the 1 Week, 1 Month, and 1 Year horizons. Open a portrait for the analyst, or a summary for the topic.
-
Source-Backed
Every view links to the original post or the exact YouTube moment.
-
Closed Catalog
A view occupies one named topic. Headge does not invent a new one to make it fit.
-
Mix Is a Count
Bull, Neutral, and Bear are tallies of unique analysts, not a house call.
