The StockGeist dashboard is an interactive platform for monitoring current popularity of companies based on textual information from social media. Key trader sentiment research is provided for those companies covered in the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 indices, as well as all the businesses in the publicly traded biotechnology and technology sectors.

Our market sentiment monitoring platform can be utilised as a sentiment tool for traders in order to aid potential short-term or long-term trading opportunities.

Although, it is important to remember that sentiment analysis will be interpreted differently by each individual, and should be taken in conjunction with other factors such as fundamental analysis of the price/earnings ratio. Nonetheless, the analysis of trader sentiment data should be a part of every short-term investor's toolkit.

Why is trader sentiment analysis so important?

Often associated with short-term trading methods, the analysis of trader sentiment data provides an alternative method when analyzing the performance of a particular stock.

Analyzing the crowd psychology of a particular stock can provide traders with the opportunity to profit from short-term price movements as a result of investor reactions. The emotional reaction of traders will typically drive the market into a bearish or bullish territory - bearish meaning a decline, and a rise in share price for the latter.

Due to the short-term nature of this process and the potential small window of opportunity, this is why it is vital for sentiment traders to understand the crowd psychology of a particular stock quickly in a few clicks, rather than scrolling through copious amounts of messages across different social media platforms at once.

This is where the StockGeist.ai platform comes into it’s own...
