Abstract

The study has been prepared to establish the effect of news from social media websites on the financial decision of investors. Taking into account the research by different researchers, the researcher has tried to establish the hypothesis of stale news by Tetlock. The continuation of the same theory had been published in paper earlier this year establishing the relation between the Twitter comments and the volume of stock traded.
