The role of traditional or social media-expressed tone on stock prices is nuanced. Negative tone of traditional media articles is much more likely to convey material information than web messages. Some topics, regardless of source, are unusually negative, causing fluctuations in investor sentiment and temporary price deviations.

Some topics, regardless of source, are unusually negative, causing fluctuations in investor sentiment and temporary price deviations.
