Welcome to the Sentiment Analysis of Stocks powered by FINVIZ! If you're here, you're probably curious about the sentiment surrounding a particular stock or company. Maybe you're looking to invest, or maybe you're just curious about what the world has to say about a particular business.
Either way, you're in the right place! Our program enables you to obtain information on the sentiment of your desired stock listing/company over the last few days based on recent articles published pertaining to the company. And best of all, it's powered by FINVIZ - because who doesn't love a good, strong name that inspires confidence?
You'll need to have a few libraries installed to use our program, you'll need nltk, plotnine, pandas, urllib, BeautifulSoup, and matplotlib.pyplot. But don't worry, we won't make you fetch and install them one-by-one like you're on some kind code scavenger hunt.
Once you've got everything set up, enter the names of the stocks or companies you want to analyze, and let our program do the rest. And if you get tired of typing names, you can always enter "Default" to see how we work with a sample list of stock listings. Or, if you're feeling like you're done, you can always type "Done" to finish entering your desired stock listings.
So what are you waiting for? Try our program, and see what the world thinks about your favorite stocks and companies. Who knows, you might discover the next big thing! Or you might just have a good laugh at what the internet thinks about your favorite brands. Either way, it's a win-win situation.
Happy analyzing!
