New Interactive Sentiment Trend Offers Instant Comparisons Between Securities' Community Perceptions, Published News & Quotes


PredictWallStreet has added new features to its Sentiment Trend tool that will allow you to better evaluate the relationship between a security's community perception, price, and news.

Before we describe the features, we would like to explain what prompted us to create them. Each security has a unique sentiment trend not only in terms of its movements, but also in its correlation to quotes and major news. For some securities, a change in price induces a change in community sentiment. Your profit potential is highest when the reverse is true. Moreover, some securities' community sentiments move mostly in the same direction as the quotes while others move in the opposite direction. Having knowledge of these relationships creates a profit potential and allows you to better time the market.

The impact of news on Sentiment Trends also varies drastically. While the community instantly and strongly reacts to news of some securities, it may barely blink at news of others. This reaction can be viewed as indicative of a stock's volatility, which in turn affects profit opportunity and trading risk.

The Sentiment Trend, which we launched in 2007, reflects a security's momentum at different times. The new Interactive Sentiment Trend has additional features that will help you to better observe the relationship between community sentiments, news, and quotes. Here is what you can now do:

- See on the Sentiment Trend chart when news is published and click on the titles to read the associated release.

- Overlay the quote, which allows you to directly observe the relationship between community perception and a security's price.

Overall, the new Interactive Sentiment Trend can help you to discern profit opportunities, evaluate trading risks, and time the market.

We welcome your questions or comments on the Interactive Sentiment Trend.
