Abstract

Article terms can move stock prices. By analyzing verbs in financial news articles and coupling their usage with a discrete machine learning algorithm tied to stock price movement, we can build a model of price movement based upon the verbs used, to not only identify those terms that can move a stock price the most, but also whether they move the predicted price up or down.
