What this Grok bot does
Watches any two public companies for merger talk or new ties between them: SEC filings, credible news, executives' posts, and stock moves. Every finding is labeled CONFIRMED, REPORTED or RUMOR with a source. Every alert ends with a clearly labeled opinion on what it could mean for holders of each stock (not advice). Watch-only: it never trades, posts or messages anyone for you.
