Spectral Capital Corporation announced the private beta release of Monitr. Designed for individual investors and financial organizations, Monitr analyzes news, opinion and social media in order to quantify the aggregate sentiment and trends of equities across world markets. Monitr is available as Software as a Service or through customized data feeds suitable for larger financial institutions and hedge funds engaged in algorithmic analysis of financial markets.

For investors who believe news and opinion drive stock market speculation, the volume and breadth of financial news is now so vast it exceeds human limitations to stay informed. Monitr helps investors overcome this obstacle by providing deep, realtime analysis of over 50,000 financial news stories per day. The sentiment and trends for 7,000 publicly traded companies are analyzed and latent data embedded in the news is extracted and visualized separately for each company, with additional companies and markets being added daily.

Semantic processing, data analytics, real time search and machine learning are combined to perform the analysis. Recent headlines accompany charts and graphs, making it convenient to also follow emerging stories in Monitr for companies of interest. Monitr's proprietary ranking system, Monitr Rank, provides an additional data point for investors to identify trending companies.

The Monitr Rank algorithm analyzes volume, sentiment and the impact of news for each company, as well as data for direct market competitors. Complementing the analysis of individual companies, aggregate market analysis is available for stock indices and industries.
