In recent years, traders and investors have increasingly turned to social media to discuss their investments. Now, interested parties can get a scientific look at what is being discussed on a weekly, monthly, and even hourly basis.
Provided by Social Market Analytics, here is the morning social media outlook for Monday, March 12.
Most Bullish
ZOLL Medical ZOLL is trading up 23% after the company received a takeover offer from Japan's Asahi Kasei for $2.21 billion.
Starbucks SBUX is trading down slightly on today's session, but is still above $51 per share. The company announced last week that it would be rolling out a lineup of single-serve brewing machines focused on the espresso market.
Most Bearish
Agilent Tech A is trading down over 1.5% on the session. The company shipped a release of its device modeling software platform on Friday.
AT&T T is trading largely unchanged on the current session. The news last week about the company's data cap policy may be motivating bearish chatter.
Most Discussed
Apple AAPL almost always appears at the top of the list, but chatter on the company may be up further still after Apple announced the new incarnation of its iPad last week.
Google GOOG is also a popular company to discuss. Shares are hovering right around the $600 mark.
Amazon (NASDAQ; AMZN) is trading down on the current session, but has been moving up in the wake of Apple's iPad announcement last week. Some traders had anticipated that Apple would put out a seven inch tablet to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire, but that did not happen.
Bank of America BAC is trading right around $8 per share. The company is frequently discussed on social media, but may have additional chatter circulating about the upcoming release of the Federal Reserve's stress test results.
Citigroup C, like Bank of America, may be getting discussed on expectations for the results of the Fed's stress test. The company has also had some management changes that could be generating chatter.
