Ticker mentions scraped hourly from eight Reddit feeds across six investing subreddits,
ranked by how many different people are talking about each name — not by
raw mention count.
This measures attention, not quality. Reddit mention volume has no
established predictive relationship with returns, and the loudest names are frequently the
worst investments. Crowds here are late more often than early. Treat this as a
sentiment thermometer — a way to see what retail is fixated on — and never as a
buy list. Nothing here is investment advice.

Most-discussed tickers
Ranked by unique authors. A ticker needs at least two different people mentioning it to
appear at all, which filters out one-person spam. Note the subreddit under each ticker:
one busy thread can put a name at the top of this table on its own, and that is a fact
about the thread rather than about the stock.

A new name with no history shows no figure rather than a fake one.

What people are actually saying
A sample of the text each mention was pulled from, so a number on this page can always be
traced back to a human sentence. Unedited, including the typos.

How it works
Source. Reddit's public Atom feeds for r/wallstreetbets, r/stocks, r/investing, r/StockMarket, r/options and r/ValueInvesting. The comment feeds carry most of the mentions; the hot-post feeds add the higher-visibility names.
Ticker matching. Every candidate is checked against the full list of US-listed symbols from Nasdaq Trader (~12,600 names). A $CASHTAG counts immediately. A bare word like AMD must also survive a hand-built stop-list of ~250 English words and finance/internet slang that happen to be real tickers — IT, ALL, DD, CEO, YOLO, ATH.
Ranking. Unique authors, not mentions. One person posting a ticker forty times should not outrank forty people mentioning it once.
Tone. A keyword lexicon — calls / long / squeeze against puts / short / dump. Crude, and labelled as such.
Storage. SQLite on the server, deduplicated by comment ID, so re-runs never double-count and history accumulates for the 7-day baseline.
What it can't tell you
Attention is not alpha. There is no reliable evidence that Reddit mention volume predicts returns. Often it marks the top of a move rather than the start.
Sarcasm defeats the tone score. "great job everyone, calls printing 🌈🐻" is scored bullish. Read the quotes, not just the bar.
Bots and brigades exist. Ranking by unique authors helps; the concentration figure in each row (mentions per person) exposes what's left. Anything above ~3 is one loud voice.
The feeds are a window, not the firehose. Roughly 100 recent items per feed per hour — busy periods overflow between runs, so absolute counts undercount.
Ticker collisions persist. The stop-list is good, not perfect. OPEN, SPY and single letters are the usual offenders.
