Wall Street monitoring Redditt stock forums

Registered Coward v2 writes: Wall Street has decided if you can't beat them, at least watch them. They're paying for data that shows which stocks are most talked about on Reddit stock forums, ostensibly to allow them to adjust their positions or take advantage of opportunities to trade based on Reddit.

Nothing could go wrong there, since Reddit would decide to seed the data with misinformation, or simply pipe the data into a filter and produce their own free list...
