This document discusses how social media sentiment, particularly from Twitter, can provide insights into stock market performance. It notes that some services analyze Twitter sentiment to predict stock changes, claiming up to 87% accuracy. However, the document also expresses skepticism about natural language processing challenges and shows the author's own analysis of Apple stock and sentiment. It concludes that while AAPL stock was downward moving and concerns rose after Steve Jobs' death, product interest remains high, so the author would hold the stock while monitoring performance and sentiment going forward.

- 11. Conclusion AAPL stock is, by definition, ‘bearish’ (downward moving) AND Sentiment about AAPL shows concern after Steve Job’s death BUT Product interest seems high, esp. regarding Black Friday, and AAPL is beating industry avg. I would hold stock and monitor AAPL’s performance and sentiment closely going forward

Editor's Notes
- With only 140 characters, people hit the key b/c they can’t beat around the bush.
- If Apple is going to struggle after leadership transition, it’s balance sheet and bottom line probably would not reflect it this close to Steve Job’s death. If people continuing to post about leadership concerns at AAPL and AAPL’s performance begins declining, then I’d sell.
