NYControl’s coverage is built by writers who each focus on a specific corner of the financial markets. Rather than generalists covering everything, our team members specialize — which means the person writing about crypto actually follows crypto closely, and the person covering the Fed actually reads the transcripts. Here’s who’s behind the byline.
-
Andrew Collins is a senior financial analyst and writer with 10 years of experience covering stock market trends, quarterly earnings, and corporate financial health. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder with prior experience at a U.S. asset management firm.
-
Brian Mitchell is a senior stock market correspondent with 11 years of experience in financial journalism, specializing in technical analysis, trading strategies, and market indices. He holds an MBA in Finance from Indiana University and previously worked as a trading analyst on Wall Street.
-
David Cormier writes NYControl's crypto and emerging markets coverage. He's been following digital assets since 2016, back when most financial journalists treated it as a punchline, and has watched the space go through three full boom-bust cycles since. He previously freelanced for a handful of fintech newsletters before joining NYControl. David is upfront about volatility risk in his pieces — he's lost money in this market too, and it shows in how carefully he flags speculation versus fact. Based in Denver.

James Holloway covers markets and stocks for NYControl, focused on daily price action and sector trends. He cut his teeth as a business desk intern at a local paper in Philadelphia and worked his way up through smaller finance outlets before this role. Eleven years of covering earnings calls and reading 10-Ks has sharpened his instinct for what actually moves a stock versus what's just noise. His pieces are shorter, punchier, and written for people checking their portfolio on a lunch break.
-
Jason Parker is a stock market news reporter with over 8 years of experience covering breaking market news, earnings calls, and sector performance. He holds a degree in Financial Economics and has worked as a research associate at a New York equity research firm, ensuring accurate and timely market reporting.
-
Kevin Robinson is a markets analyst and writer with 8 years of experience tracking S&P 500 performance, sector trends, and macroeconomic indicators. He is a CFA Level III candidate with a background in equity research at a mid-sized U.S. investment firm, bringing analytical rigor to his stock market coverage.
-
Lauren Cooper is a financial journalist with 7 years of experience covering stock market updates, corporate earnings, and investor sentiment. She holds a Master's degree in Journalism with a specialization in business reporting from Columbia University. Lauren's work centers on translating Wall Street news into clear, actionable coverage for everyday investors.
-
Megan Foster is a markets and investment writer with 6 years of experience reporting on mutual funds, ETFs, and long-term investment strategy. She holds a Series 65 license and a degree in Business Administration, focusing on making complex investment topics accessible to retail investors.
-
Michael Bennett has spent nine years tracking US equity markets, with a focus on earnings season coverage and IPO analysis. Before joining NYControl, he worked as a research associate at a mid-sized brokerage in Chicago, where he built valuation models for retail clients. His writing tends to focus less on hype and more on what a number actually means for someone deciding whether to buy or sell. He's based in Chicago and reads three Fed transcripts a week for fun, which his wife finds concerning.
-
Nicole Bennett is a finance and economy writer with 7 years of experience covering Federal Reserve policy, inflation data, and their effects on stock market performance. She holds a Master's degree in Economics and is a member of the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW).
-
-
Rachel Simmons handles economic policy and macro coverage — inflation data, Fed decisions, jobs reports, the stuff that moves everything else. She spent four years as a junior analyst at a regional bank in Charlotte before switching to journalism, which means she can actually read a Fed statement without needing a translator. She has a master's in Economics from UNC Chapel Hill. Rachel's rule for herself is simple: no prediction goes in an article unless she'd be willing to bet her own money on it.
-
Rachel Turner is a stock market and personal finance writer with 6 years of experience covering IPOs, market volatility, and investment trends. She holds a degree in Economics from the University of Michigan and has contributed to several U.S.-based financial news platforms before joining NYControl's editorial team.
-
Robert Harris is a stock market news writer with over 9 years of experience covering NYSE and NASDAQ trading activity, earnings releases, and market trends. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Texas and previously worked as a junior analyst at a U.S. equity research firm. Robert's reporting focuses on daily market movements and their impact on retail investors.
-
Sarah Whitfield covers mutual funds and personal finance for NYControl. She started out as a financial planner in Austin, sitting across the table from people trying to figure out their 401(k)s, before moving into writing full-time in 2019. That background shows in her work — she writes for the person opening their first brokerage account, not for a trading desk. She's a CFP candidate and holds a bachelor's in Economics from Texas A&M. When she's not writing, she's usually annoying her friends by asking about their expense ratios.
-
Stephanie Reed is a stock market news editor with 9 years of experience in financial media, specializing in market analysis and fact-checked investment reporting. She holds a degree in Business Journalism and has led editorial coverage of daily market news for multiple U.S. financial publications.
