I don't know how to measure this, but I'd be curious what impact all of these news outlets writing doom and gloom actually have. I'll bet it is quite a lot.
There is a very palpable sense of people wanting the economy to collapse, and I'll bet a lot of it is spite from renters who are having their rents jacked, and being completely priced out of even entry-level homes in many markets. They can't get a fair shake at things, so they want to watch things burn.
Not to say that I entirely blame that mentality, but I'm just very curious what tangible impact that has and how to measure it from a quantitative standpoint. Are there any good sentiment analysis tools for this sort of thing and correlating it with the market/economies?
