About Finfluencers Trade

The Spark

Every day, I listen to financial market commentary, hearing confident predictions about stocks, sectors, and timing. But often, these confident calls didn't match reality. This observation, combined with personal experience, sparked the idea for Finfluencers Trade.

I've also seen how powerful sentiment – including my own gut feelings – can be during market volatility. Even knowing better intellectually, I've felt that intense urge to sell during downturns, sometimes acting on it right before a sharp rebound. This painful experience as a personal "contra indicator" highlighted a key question: Can tracking the collective "bets" and prevailing sentiment expressed by influential voices actually provide valuable market signals, perhaps even reliable contrarian ones?

The Problem

The world of financial commentary is broken.

Unlike licensed advisors, finfluencers operate with little to no accountability. They make bold predictions across dozens of platforms—from fleeting tweets to hour-long podcasts—and then the calls are forgotten, leaving investors with all the risk.

There is no single source of truth to answer the simple questions: * Who is actually good? * Who is just a good marketer? * Whose track record can I trust?

My Approach

Finfluencers Trade is the platform I'm building to systematically collect and analyze public financial predictions. Beyond just tracking accuracy, the approach involves looking for patterns:

  • Specific predictions (stocks, sectors, market moves) and their outcomes.
  • Time frames involved.
  • Consistency and potential biases.
  • Identifying commentators who might serve as reliable indicators – or potent contrarian signals, reflecting potentially overextended market sentiment.

The Goal

My goal is to build that single source of truth.

Finfluencers.trade is being built to:

  1. Monitor Everything: Systematically track predictions from a wide array of sources, including podcasts, social media, and video.
  2. Provide Objective Data: Analyze the performance of commentators without bias.
  3. Identify True Alpha: Highlight genuinely insightful voices whose calls outperform the market, and flag those who don't.
  4. Empower Investors: Give you the data you need to decide whose advice is worth listening to.

I believe analysis should focus on results and patterns, not just charisma. By tracking performance and sentiment signals over time, I aim to change how financial commentary is consumed and evaluated.
