A Few More FAQâs:
Q: What is Babblâs market news sentiment score?
Our sentiment scoring is a way to gauge the overall tone or attitude being expressed about a stock or the market at large in online discourse. The theory is that general sentiment can (and often does) have an impact on stock market outcomesâââhigh degrees of news optimism (bullish discourse) can lead to boosted investor confidence and encourage buying activity, while high degrees of news pessimism (bearish discourse) can have the opposite effect.
Q: How is market news sentiment measured?
Babblâs sentiment is measured for individual stocks, industries, and the market at large. For all of these, sentiment is a compilation of four different indicators that each measure some aspect of a given text snippetâs tone and quality. In order of priority, they are: mood, tense, relevance, and credibility. The composite sentiment score weighs each of these metrics in terms of their absolute value at a given moment in time, their divergence from their historical average, and their rate of change over time; measured on a sentence-by-sentence basis. The composite sentiment score is normalized on a scale from -100 to +100, where -100 represents maximum pessimistic (bearish) sentiment, and +100 represents maximum optimistic (bullish) sentiment.

Q: What sources of online discourse does Babbl track?
Babbl currently tracks discourse from a variety of online sources: accredited financial news outlets (ie. MarketWatch, CNBC, Yahoo Finance, etc.), social media platforms (ie. Twitter, Reddit), and newsletter providers (ie. Substack)âââwe refer to this variety of discourse collectively as ânewsâ. New sources are added periodically as they become available, and future sources might include alternative outlets such as Youtube comments, TikTok or Podcast transcriptions, and more. A full list of our current news source coverage can be found here: www. babbl.dev/coverage
Q: How often is Babblâs market news sentiment calculated?
Each component and the composite sentiment score are calculated for a given stock or the market at large as soon as new sentences about a stock become available.
Q: How to use Babblâs market news sentiment?
Babblâs sentiment scores are used to gauge the mood of the market. Many investors are emotional, speculative and reactionary, and sentiment is a tool for measuring these emotions and biases more objectively. When combined with fundamental and technical analysis, sentiment analysis helps to form the three-legged stool of investment researchâââtogether, all three legs can be used together to inform better stock market decisions.
