> there's no where near enough volume there to move anything

I was imagining that some big money quant fund had written bots and scrapers to use r/wsb as an algorithmic amplifier since over time they can make money on tiny shifts. Or maybe that would just make a good movie plot.




You're definitely not the first to think of this. I know of a couple of people have done sentiment analysis on r/wsb over the years. I've thought about doing it myself. But, doubt it'd be worth much other than a fun exercise.


Sweet summer child.

It is precisely because so few feel it is worth the effort, that the effort is worthwhile.
