Identifying stocks with ‘Unusual Social Activity’ tends to be a valuable process for traders looking to capitalize on the ‘talk of the town’ stocks that are basking in far more attention from the StockTwits financial community than normal. Good press? Bad press? It ultimately doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad if you know how to trade around the sentiment.
