Excerpt:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose, after falling for the fifth-straight session on Friday. Caterpillar led the blue-chip gainers, while McDonald's sagged.  The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were also higher. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, traded below 21. Major averages dropped nearly 2 percent across the board last week as skepticism grew on Wall Street over the budget talks. The CBOE Volatility Index rose to its highest level since June on Friday, closing above 22 for the first time since June.  Still, equities have largely performed well in the last two months despite ongoing worries over the fiscal cliff. For the year, the Dow is up nearly 6 percent, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are up more than 10 percent each.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
