Hello r/investing
I’m curious if anyone out there has attempted to analyze subreddit submissions and comments and correlate them with the stock market or just analyze the data out of interest.
I’ve set up a simple system that pulls in all of Reddit and filters posts and comments containing stock symbols or company names. Once filtered, a simple semantic analysis algorithm is run, and these results can be aggregated in a variety of ways. For example:
- which stocks/companies are referenced most frequently each day?
- What is the average sentiment (feeling/opinion) for a stock over the past X amount of time.
- is a user cross posting about a stock?
- what is the avg sentiment for a user regarding a stock
I have thought about other ways to further the analysis. An obvious direction is to integrate financial data (IEX has a great API for this). This would make it possible to look for a correlation between stock sentiment or mentions and price (with many caveats).
Has anyone else played around with the API to do this sort of analysis? Have you found any interesting trends?
