    Hi All,

    After speaking with @bigbear0083 and @StockJock-e I've decided to put together a list of tickers in the news and brief descriptions why.

    I plan to put this out daily, or when I can, and please provide feedback on how it can be useful for you.

    Right now I have a database of 13+ million news articles going back to the 1990s and I keep adding new news sources. I use an algorithm I built to help tag companies that goes further than tickers. The below is a list of tickers that have had a big increase in articles over the past 24 hours.


    November 9th 2018

    DIS/NFLX
    Disney announced Disney+, their streaming service that will combat with NFLX. Disney plans to announce details at the Investor conference in April. They also will be giving Hulu Disney titles when the NFLX agreement winds down.

    TRP:
    TransCanada Corp faced a setback with the Keystone pipeline when a Montana court ruled that there were violations in the government review. Previously, TransCanada had suggested that they could start construction next year.

    USO (Oil):
    Crude had another losing today, the 10th day in a row. According to CNBC, this is the longest losing streak in 34 years.

    I am excluding earnings related posts for now - let me know if you would like those as well. I could also expand this to see what topic suddenly became trending!

    Thanks for doing this @Rishi_at_Tiingo

    Haha, yeah I had also brought up that very stat earlier this morning here as well.

    I can't believe we've never seen a losing streak this long (or at least in the past 35 years) in crude...even through all of the previous notable oil crashes of the past...2008...2014...crazy! :eek:

    This is really interesting! (Of course I'm long OIH heavy right now. Annual dividend should be announced at the end of the month)

    That is wild - I wonder what the percent move down is compared though. And nice @bigbear0083!

    Whelp, as @stock1234 pointed out on the weekly thread earlier, looks like today has set a new all time record losing streak in crude. :eek:

    MVL/DIS
    Marvel is a delisted company - but with the passing of Stan Lee, we thought we would give this special mention. It was acquired by Disney so we are including the Disney ticker. The amount of Universes and characters he helped create was incredible. He was also a Civil Rights mover: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a25022397/stan-lee-marvel-racism-1968-essay/

    GS:
    Goldman Sachs fell on concerns of a bribery scandal. As reported by Investor's Business Daily: “U.S. prosecutors allege that Goldman bankers were involved in a bribery and kickback scheme led by a Malaysian financier to land Goldman $6 billion in deals to underwrite bonds for the fund, known as 1Malaysia Development Berhad. One of those bankers pleaded guilty in the case in August.” More details from the Times here as well: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/09/business/goldman-sachs-malaysia-1mdb.html

    BHGE/GE:
    GE is going to sell up to 20% of its stake in Baker Hughes for $4bn cash to help their financial position. GE currently owns 62.5% of Baker Hughes and many people expect that it will retain its 50% stake.

    DEO/BF-A/BF-B/STZ:
    Trump raised the possibility of putting tariffs on French wine. He's gotten in tussles with Macron...probably for suggesting Europe should build a military to protect itself from Russia and the US.

    M
    Breaking with tradition of not discussing earnings because Macy's is often seen as a bell-weather, holiday season coming up, and also because of its turnaround story. Macy's posted its fourth straight sales gain. This could bode well for holidays retail sales - let's see.

    OIl & Nat Gas
    OIl continues its downward decline in both Brent and WTI. Nat Gas on the other hand has been up 38%,

    PCG
    PG&E Shares fell 18% on concerns there could be liquidity issues if it turns out their equipment was the reason the for the wild fire in California that his killed 48 people. I had no idea so many people lost their lives to this.
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ity-flags-impact-from-camp-fire-idUSKCN1NJ1X1

    TAHO
    Pan American announced a deal to acquire Tahoe Resources for $1.07bn, making it the largest silver producer. https://www.kitco.com/news/2018-11-...Acquire-Tahoe-Resources-For-1-07-Billion.html

    JPM
    JPM has opened up a new branch in Washington D.C. and plans to further expand in the region. AMZN has also decided to open its HQ in Northern Virginia and New York.

    I like the report, it's a quick read.
    What kind of algorithm do you use? Don't worry, I don't do any development myself lol. What is the goal of your algorithm?

    Thank you!

    The real power of the algorithm is that I scan tons of articles and don't rely on standard tagging. This means my news algos can go into blogs and detect when people discuss "Apple" the company vs "apple" the fruit. It's a bit more powerful than that actually - because standard methods language libraries for this aren't perfect for finance. This started off as a passion project over a decade ago, and I turned it into a business. Now I also use it to post relevent news here! Basically my algos add about 14,000 articles a day to my database and then I see which tickers have had massive jumps in news stories about them. Then I look at the top news stories and write brief reports here for everyone :)

    Thanks all. Yeah I like keeping it brief :) Wasn't sure if that would go over well. I think I will start linking to news stories that may do a good job of giving overviews for people who want more information about the topic. I do that sporadically now.

    FB
    NYTimes released a major feature story in which it described the mayhem of Facebook's Russia problem and the efforts it took for damage control. You can read the NY times report here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/14/technology/facebook-data-russia-election-racism.html and FB's response here: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/11/new-york-times-update/

    OIl & Nat Gas
    Nat Gas retraced pretty much its entire massive move yesterday. Let's see if this was a one-off or high-volatility becomes the new normal.

    KBH
    KB Homes warned that its fourth quarter results will be worse than expected due to reduced demand from Texas and the California wild fires. I think the shocking thing here is Texas, which in past surveys has been home to 3 of the fastest growing cities in the country.

    POST
    POST Holdings will IPO its Active Nutrition business. POST is the cereal brand company and its market cap as of today a $6bn. http://globenewswire.com/news-relea...ve-Nutrition-Business.html?f=22&fvtc=2&fvtv=1

    China Southern/AAL
    China Southern Airlines will leave SkyTeam airline alliance to join OneWorld. American Airlines (AAL) spent $200mm for a minority steak in China Southern, but apparently they were not getting much value because AAL is part of OneWorld. The leaving of SkyTeam could mean China Southern joins OneWorld and AAL could benefit? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...strengthen-american-partnership-idUSKCN1NK0ZS

    AAPL

    AAPL reported yesterday and the market is happy. The stock is up nearly 4% today with an EPS of $4.18 beating the est. $4.17. After AAPL guided down recently, the market may have overcorrected. Apple's revenue also beat at $84.3bn vs the expected $84 bn. Sales in China were down 27% whereas in the US it was up 5%.

    BA
    Boeing also beat and wrecked estimates. The EPS of $5.48 blew out of the water the consensus of $4.58. Its reveneu of $28.34bn was 14% higher yoy. Boeing's shares are currently up nearly 6%.

    SBUX
    Howard Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks said that he may want to throw his hat in the ring for president.

    AMD
    AMD guided a 9% increase in expected sales for 2019 vs 6% of what analysts expected. The question here is also how AMD's revenue is expected to alter given that crypto mining may not be as reliable of a source of revenue as it was in 2018. The stock is up nearly 13% right now on this news.

    HOG
    Harley Davidson reported an EPS of $0.17 vs an expected $0.29. People have been watching this stock to see how American manufacturers may be affected by US-China trade relations. The stock is up about 2% right now.
