TickerTags Information

We connect trending social content to investable companies. The multiplicity of chatter that propagates through large user communities presents an atypical opportunity to discover and monitor emerging and collapsing trends in a way that was never possible before. Even so, financial markets are grossly inefficient in their ability to identify insights bubbling up from non-financial channels and social networks. So how can investors efficiently identify actionable insights hidden within terabytes of unstructured social data and non-financial news flow? Our pursuit of that answer inspired TickerTags, a taxonomy comprised of keywords and phrases (Tags) that are associated to public tickers. A team of crowd-sourced curators with company specific expertise manages our ever-evolving registry of 250,000+ Tags. Frequency and sentiment of Tag mentions across conventional news and social channels are historically indexed for benchmarking, comparison, charting, and alerting. The TickerTags taxonomy evolves news monitoring from view-limited tickers to social-monitored tags that serve to parse the world’s data streams without human bias.
