who mines it?

• darkwizard42 8y ago
  Private equity firms, hedge funds, any firm that does investment at a large scale will use every kind of advantage they can to understand if a company or competitor is testing new things

  Research firms mine it, then sell the raw or value-added (analyzed) data to hedge funds. Some hedge funds (like Two Sigma) build out teams/divisions internally which are dedicated to this kind of data mining.
