Session Web Platform as Equity Analyst Seth Goldstein, CEO, SocialMedia.com Steve Steinberg, Analyst, Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co. Track: Workshops Date: Tuesday, October 05 Time: 2:45pm0 Location: Monterey II TrackBack In an era where Regulation Fair Disclosure mandates all public companies say the same things to investors at the same time, sophisticated investors (particularly hedge funds) are digging deeper for proprietary insights. And as more business applications and consumer transactions migrate to the Internet, the connections and data points they expose has turned the Web into one of the most profitable spots for them to mine. Join Goldstein and Steinberg for a wide-ranging conversation about the latest tools and techniques for turning web data into investment ideas. Although investors tend to be quite secretive about their own strategies, the most successful ones understand the value of open sourced research and best practices. Goldstein and Steinberg are eager to exchange thoughts on next generation social networks, behavioral databases, ecommerce platforms, and text mining tools that may have unique applications for the investment community.
