How We Determine Bias Rating
An Overview
Nobias processes thousands of articles every day and uses machine learning to surface whether an article is bullish or bearish.
We also zoom out and give you context–the overall market sentiment on a particular stock.
Let’s see how we break this down.
You can see in the image to the right that we highlight the sentiment of the article on Johnson and Johnson to be bullish. We also show you in the donut chart on the top right the distribution of sentiments across all articles written on Johnson and Johnson–this is the market sentiment. Hover over the segments to view how many articles are written from each side.
To obtain our bias rating, we employ proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning methods, built on Nobias’ own and the latest research in Machine Learning.
How We Determine Credibility Rating
An Overview
Nobias processes thousands of articles every day and tracks the performance of the analysts and bloggers you read using unbiased, transparent methodologies. We want you to decide for yourself who to trust.
Let’s see how we break this down.
As shown in the image above, this analyst is ranked #3 in our database of 8,100 analysts and bloggers. Out of his 597 total recommendations, he has been accurate 67% of the time. If you followed all of his recommendations over three months, you would have an average return of 57%. At the time of this snapshot, this analyst was bullish across 100% of the stocks and ETFs he wrote on.
All of this results in a five star credibility rating for this author. We determine our stars using a combination of:
Accuracy Rate - The percent of their recommendations that were correct 3 months following publishing.
Average Expected Return - The expected return of the author’s recommendation in the 3 month period (for bloggers) or in a 1 year period (for analysts) following publishing.
The number of articles an author has written.

The Goal
Nobias seeks to devise a statistically sound method for rating financial authors and analysts. For every author there are 3 fields: the total number of calls made, accuracy, and expected return. All were collected by keeping track of articles they have published (LexisNexis live feed), determining the stock they were discussing (regex-like checks), determining the positive/negative slant in the way they discussed the stock to generate a buy/sell/neutral slant, and then during the 3 months that follow, we check whether the slope of the stock price was in fact aligned with his recommendation and to yield a profit (or a loss). Expected return is based on purchase of $100 worth of shares on the day of his prediction (this may be fractional), and the total average return after holding the stock for a specified time period (3 months in our first case.) Accuracy and Expected Return are averaged across all calls. In the case of analysts we allow for a longer (1 year) time frame or until the Price Target recommended by the Analysts is achieved or the Analyst revises his recommendation.
