  Yeah, we are working on an improved demo (along with transitioning the stock advisor from python to our web app). I personally use it to identify how experts feel about a given product, then compare to what the main stream media things + the stock market. One of the most interesting examples of this, was I saw a spike of positive sentiment regarding AMD in early 2016. I then invested some money because the experts felt their new architecture could compete with Intel. That sentiment just continued to build until release, at which point I held a ton of stock. As for Uber, believe it or not, there actually is a ton of positive sentiment. Even though there is a lot of negative discussion here on HN generally, it targets "experts" i.e. people who appear to discuss uber in depth and/or have insider knowledge. Those people believe uber is doing relatively well (at least in 2016 - the demo data). Now, it's a bit more mixed when looking at sentiment, with a solid negative net promoter score[1].
