can it be used to predict market trends? instead of topics use stock tickers?


There is already some work done on this front [0]. Ruiz et al basically concluded the stock price of a company is directly proportional to the number of discussion topics of that company viz. if there for a company X there are fewer topics under discussion the stock prices would be poor.
