Predicting Stock Movements using Social Network
Abstract
According to “Wisdom of Crowds” hypothesis, a large crowd can perform better than smaller groups or few individuals. Based on this hypothesis, we investigate the impact of online social media, a group of interacting individual, on financial market in Indian context. The interaction of different users of

, a popular online Indian stock forum, is put to a social graph model and several key parameters are derived from that social graph along with the user’s suggestion such as (Buy, Sell or Hold) related to a stock. The user’s impact in that forum is then calculated using the social graph of the users. Stock price movement is then predicted using user’s suggestions and their impact in that forum. As per our knowledge, this is the first paper which considers the impact of
