DryShips, Inc. (DRYS) Getting Some Negative Coverage In The Media
Judging by recent news coverage on DryShips, Inc. (DRYS), it should be noted that the media thinks there's significant trouble ahead for the stock.
Trading on One-Sided Investor Sentiment
There have been academic studies that show investors tend to place too much importance on recent information, also known as psychological anchoring.
During periods of negative news, investors may continue to sell a stock, pushing it below its fair value. Conversely, during periods of positive news, investors may get overly optimistic and push the stock beyond fair value.
This is the goal of Contextuall: to identify examples where herd behavior has reached extreme levels.
We believe that, by identifying these areas of one-sided sentiment, investors could use these contrarian signals as a starting point for their own research.
