About Stock Mood Technology
Stock Mood was developed to provide a widely accessible source of quantitative information about the potential impact on stock prices of all the various news stories that come out in real time each day. Using pioneering Artificial Intelligence combined with trading smarts, Stock Mood is light years ahead of any other news services out there today. Its unique power lies in its ability to predict the actual impact a news story (or many times, groups of stories over time) will have on stock prices, and alert you of this impact in advance. Stock Mood is like having a top analyst AND a top trader sitting right at your desk with you, analyzing all the information and then quantifying it for you in an easy to understand format that makes sense.
