Michael Nofer examines whether and to what extent Social Media can be used to predict stock returns. Market-relevant information is available on various platforms on the Internet, which largely consist of user generated content.

Taking Social Media platforms as examples, the author examines the forecasting quality of user generated content on the Internet.
