startupticker.ch: A Swiss start-up helps investors to understand stock markets

FinancialQ uses sophisticated semantic learning algorithms and the wisdom of the crowd to show investors how new information impacts stock prices. At the moment the young company is looking for beta tester for its service.

Today, investors have a lot of tools at their disposal to see how the price of a stock is changing. What is missing is a tool which helps investors to understand why a price is changing. FinancialQ wants to provide exactly this missing tool. The vision of the founders is to make the Stock Markets more transparent and understandable. 

The underlying principle is simple: the movement of prices in stock markets is a reflection of how investors judge new information. In financialQ new information is found by algorithms searching the internet for stock relevant information. A piece of information is mapped to a stock if it is found to have a potential impact on it. The mapped information is presented to the financialQ community in real time. The community rates and discusses new information. On the basis of the new information and the rating of this information by investors, a community sentiment can be calculated for each stock/industry/country/market etc. The sentiment seems to be a quite good indicator for future stock price changes. 

For a monthly fee, finanicalQ plans to let other applications (tools for investment manager, relationship managers or hedge fund managers as well as e-banking and online trading tools) integrate this valuable information on community sentiment and relevant new information. 

At the moment financialQ is in beta-phase and looking for beta testers. Beta access can be requested at www.financialQ.com. Users can set up a portfolio with stocks they are interested in and see what information is impacting the price of their stocks.
