Abstract: One of the most important research streams in finance is to understand the determinants of stock market dynamics. Using a large amount of linguistic data regarding 960,808 posts during a 5†year time period (from March 1, 2008, to August 31, 2013), we develop an economics blogs pessimism indicator (considered as a proxy for either investor sentiment or risk aversion), and we show its validity to build performing trading strategies.
