Excerpt:

U.S. stocks tiptoed higher early Thursday as uncertainty over the nation's fiscal policy trumped upbeat economic data and moves by global central banks. The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 0. 1%, the S&P 500 added 0. 2% and the Nasdaq advanced 0.4%. "Basically, the market is on strike," said Doug Roberts, chief market strategist for Channel Capital Research. Stocks have been stuck in a rut for weeks as investors have been unwilling to take risks before President Obama and lawmakers reach an agreement on tax hikes and spending cuts set to kick in automatically on Jan. 1. The fiscal stalemate in Washington overshadowed upbeat economic news and new stimulus policies by the Federal Reserve. Initial jobless claims fell more than expected during the latest week, while retail sales bounced back in November. Producer prices fell 0. 8% last month.

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.
