Wall Street Data Goldrush | VPRO Documentary

Investing is popular. But the endless data streams we all generate have changed the dynamics of the stock market. Who benefits the most from this?
The stock market should be a level playing field: everyone has the same information. But unnoticed, terabytes of data have entered the stock market. Smart companies dive into the mountain of data that is collected about us, in order to be able to see Apple's sales or Netflix's number of subscribers before the rest of the market does. VPRO Documentary dives into the world of 'alternative data' to see who is winning on the stock market, and who is not.
Because of the corona crisis and the low interest rates on savings accounts, large groups of new private investors poured into the stock market in recent years. In the hope of higher returns, and sometimes as pure entertainment.
Whereas previously investors had to wait for annual reports, analyst reports, quarterly figures and press releases published by companies, the use of infinite amounts of data from other sources is proving very lucrative for large investors. This 'alternative data' turns out to be a good way of predicting whether certain prices will go up or down.

AMAZING TEAM VPRO...men lie women lie ...data never lie

[@joem551]

Correct data never lie. Incorrect ones do.

[@trueriches6710]

Thankyou so much for non-conditioned education for all ages and walks of people! I've learned more from documentaries than from my school / teachers and textbooks! Keep up with your good works!

[@Tempestelterna]

Love documentaries like this.

[@robinabernathy2829]

Sometimes it isn't about having more data. One way to gain an advantage (easier said than done by the way) is how you interpret the data that's readily available. If you have a unique way of interpreting data than you might be able to see things or predict things at a higher level than someone else can who has access to tons of data. It's like that scene from the movie "limitless" where the main character gets dismissed as using pattern recognition as his secret to success. The main character than replies "not everyone understands the patterns". It's like that. It's also a way that the little guy can compete if he/she is serious enough.

[@Joomlahacks]

Very true. These data are available on major trading platforms. You can even write your own indicators that predicts future price actions. It’s all about the skills on how to understand those data.

[@danh5637]

Yes and no. The tickertags guy somewhat disproved that though.

Data may never lie, but it can mislead.

Thats how you make money in a gold rush when there is no gold ;)

[@ctdieselnut]

@LCC that saying is as relevant to this video as it was in 1850, when it was actual shovels and actual gold mines. It still rings true so I don't see how you consider it outdated.

[@Villaintrader12]

Only when competition is low or nonexistent

[@andgnd3674]

Very interessting subject, but this problem has always been present via insider knowledge. The new techs certainly allow faster reactions, but on a long term basis it should not be influential

The content i been dying for

[@dertythegrower]

What they do not tell you is a lot of the data is not correct data. On top of that, people are purposely sending Ai random requests to confuse the profiles and make them get filled with garbled searches of random terms all day long.

[@stirnomuigai1036]

[@imbossentertainer6219]

Nice

[@nameonline]

37:00 anyone have an id for the music that starts here?

[@SadeN_0]

This was a really good watch. Thanks vpro.

[@christiandepietro4668]

The value is in what you do with the data, how you process the data and not simply using data

[@ray-mc-l]

47:00 It would be very difficult and expensive to alter social media/review data etc to manipulate stock prices. A surge in positive reviews or tweets from new accounts wouldn't look natural. And anyone with the skill to do this would have an easier time making money by finding a genuine edge in the market. Also, hedge funds and other institutional investors are probably already aware that this data can't be fully trusted anyway.

When I was meditating daily, I would have an uncanny ability to check in on my Stock portfolio media releases. Sometimes I would wake at 5am and set up winning trades based on the tone of the CEOs voice and other "intangibles". Don't underestimate yourselves people, calm is a superpower!

Agreed 🙏🏻 It’s powerful stuff 😇

Colby Howard looks like Christian Bale in American Psycho. He is terrifying. This all feels very violating and predatory and shouldn't be allowed. Just after I wrote this 👆 he talks about the Data Hunting team.
