Why Social Sentiment Matters
Street Talk tracks what retail investors are saying right now across StockTwits and Reddit. It aggregates mentions, sentiment, and buzz velocity into a single view — so you can see which stocks are driving conversation before the price moves.
BuzzScore — velocity-weighted measure of how fast mentions are growing. Bull/Bear ratio — percentage split between bullish and bearish posts. Mention count — raw volume of posts mentioning each ticker. Sentiment — overall mood — bullish, bearish, or neutral.
BuzzScore is about velocity, not volume
A stock with 10 mentions today that had 2 yesterday has a higher BuzzScore than one with 500 mentions that had 480 yesterday. The score measures acceleration — how fast a ticker is gaining attention relative to its baseline. Sudden spikes often precede or coincide with price moves, earnings surprises, or breaking news.
Sentiment alone doesn’t predict direction
A stock can be overwhelmingly bullish in social sentiment and still drop — retail enthusiasm doesn't override fundamentals. Use sentiment as a contrarian indicator or a confirmation signal, not a standalone buy/sell trigger. When social sentiment and fundamental analysis align, the signal is stronger. When they diverge, dig deeper.
Combine with fundamentals for edge
Street Talk is most powerful when paired with GoodMoat's fundamental tools. A stock trending on social media with strong BuzzScore that also shows up as undervalued on the X-Ray or DCF Calculator is worth a closer look. Social momentum without fundamental backing is noise — social momentum with fundamental backing is a potential opportunity.
