Literally millions of messages have been posted on internet stock message boards. Financial press reports claim that these postings can move markets. We study message posting on Yahoo! Finance and Raging Bull for the firms that were in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Internet Commerce Index during the year 2000. Using computional linguistics methods we measure the bullishness of the messages. Significant predictive content was found between message posting and trading volume, between message posting and volatility, between the degree of bullishness of the messages and trading volume. These results were obtained even after taking news stories from the Wall Street Journal into account.

The internet boom gave birth to a world where technology and easy money were the subject of most conversations. Nowhere was this more evident than the communities that formed around fiery online discussion groups hosted by web sites like Yahoo!. Though the boom ended, these online communities remain active and can still be a valuable source of investment information. However, you have to be able to sort the good information from the bad. Yahooting! Life and Death on an Internet Stock Chat Board by Alan L. McCann takes you inside these discussion groups to show you how to get the full benefit of the information that can be found there: How these groups work; Why they are fun, captivating, and frustrating, often at the same time; How to understand what the discussions are about; How to identify people's motivations so you can understand their biases; How to use the information to make more informed investment decisions.

Internet message boards are often used to spread information in order to manipulate financial markets. Although this hypothesis is supported by many cases reported in the literature and in the media, the real impact of manipulation in online forums on financial markets remains an open question. This work analyses the effect of manipulation in internet stock message boards on financial markets. We employ a unique corpus of moderated messages to investigate market manipulation. Internet message boards administrators use the process of moderation to restrict market manipulation. From the data we find that manual supervision of stock message boards by moderators does not effectively protect users against manipulation. Furthermore, by focusing on messages that have been moderated as manipulative due to ramping we show that ramping is positively related to market returns, volatility and volume. We also demonstrate that stocks with higher turnover, lower price level, lower market capitalization and higher volatility are more common targets of ramping.
