Was just going to say basically the same thing, though you are wrong about Business Wire (the source of some original press releases with high value). This site would be better with way fewer sources, paradoxically. Probably 5-7 are all you need. I pay a small fortune for Bloomberg each year and get notifications of all news on a list of stocks ~200 long. Most of the notifications are spammy lawyer press releases. Bl…

If you're long these stocks, shouldn't you ignore most of the news related to them anyway? How does it impact your decision-making? Why is the subscription worth it?

I'm only long a subset and just want to be notified of actual news (primarily defined as publications and SEC filings from the companies), not deadlines to be the plaintiff to sue the companies, for example.

I have been working on a stock market analytics tool, here is the news section: https://quantale.io/dashboard/latest-news It tracks real-time data from Reddit, Twitter, Newsmedia, SEC Filings and Financial Data of over 10000 stock tickers. It is in super alpha right now so please be more tolerant of bugs and issues. thank you

Also I'd like to be able to read the reddit comment without having to leave the site if possible. Am liking it though, already been down a few rabbit holes. Good stuff.

thanks for the suggestion, I am adding a feature to expand the comment in the view itself and user will be able to read the full comment without leaving the site.

FWIW I don't think that you can really do this without moderation. Financial news is one area where curation shines particularly strongly, considering how strong monetary and information gain collide. Benzinga / Motley Fool / Seeking Alpha / Business Wire / Forbes aren't places to find worthwhile information.

There is so much noise out there. Hence, I rolled my own site (finclout) where relevant news is aggregated across several vectors leveraging social media arbitrage. So far its really profitable and brings peace to my mind to not miss a news item about a stock that I like. Further, Motley Fool is blacklisted. That's is a crap FOMO side.

I would be willing to pay money for a service that would allow me to a) pick sources (or ability to opt out of certain sources) and b) follow specific tickers and c) mass import tickers (ie ability to cut and paste a huge list of tickers from my watchlists that I want to follow).

not to hijack the thread but I am working on https://quantale.io/dashboard/start, you should check it out. You can filter the data by ticker and soon I am adding watch list to monitor those particular tickers. thanks

Nice product! Great job! I think this can be pretty useful. What do you use to get the news/aggregates ? Any specific API? Is it open source? And is the sentiment only based on title? I built a similar product not long ago, would love to see how how it's built and perhaps contribute :)

Thanks, much appreciated! I'm glad you find it somewhat useful :) Honestly, it was super simple to put together; I pull data from https://stocknewsapi.com , which I've found to be very high quality and reliable (I'm using their sentiment classifications as well, so not exactly sure what model is behind that). The project isn't currently open source, but I'm definitely considering it. I built it with Elixir + Phoenix,…

hey checkout my similar project at https://quantale.io/dashboard/latest-news, any feedback is appreciated. thanks

Very true. I would gladly pay for a feed of financial news, but instead of "clicks" it optimizes on market movement. News articles from sources that, in the past, have predicted market activity.

I.e. "this blog mentioned NYSE:TEVA, and the next day the stock moved materially, therefore site_ranking++". (You'd probably have some TF/IDF saliency metric too, so that a site that mentions all stocks is penalized.)

any plans to make this site public?

Ok this makes sense. As Ntrails points out I actually misread your comment.

Financial news is like a TV channel that plays nothing but commercials. In the sense that every story is trying to get you to do something very specific that enriches the storyteller. I don't know why anybody would want that.

That is not precisely true? When an article runs about a merger announcement, or earnings releases or even a new supplier relationship or big sale agreement... all those things are legitimate news that should affect your expected future cashflows.

I think there is a realm of events in general, and a realm of financial investments.

As a rule, events affect investments.

Because of that, the choice of which events to report and which to disregard (one cannot report literally everything, so criteria always apply), from which angle to interpret events (selectively omitting or highlighting aspects can go a long way), etc. is inevitably influenced by financial interests of link aggregator or link submitter, who would certainly like their existing investments to appreciate and their future investments to depreciate—and the more they did or plan to invest, the more they stand to gain or lose.

This already applies to news in general, and it just seemed to me it’d be amplified to rampant intensity if we are talking not any news, but stock news specifically. Not to discard the idea, but to highlight the value of such a platform as a target for manipulation, should it gain traction.
