el_isma on HNAlso PUMP, NOW, OPEN, TD (probably as in TD Ameritrade), RIDE, etc. Shows some of the pitfalls of naive text mining.
nostrademons on HNI searched a bunch of the symbols from the top of the list. Basically any outside of well known GME, AMC, BB, NAKD, NOK, it's all just false positives.

Would love to see "trending" stocks that see the greatest increases in popularity over the last 24 hours/ week, etc.
bigpumpkin on HNVery useful! Thanks :) Would be even better if you could see how the stocks move on the leaderbord (/trending stocks). Just a suggestion.
Skiboy89 on HNWould be cool to see this in bar graph form, broken down by day.

Agreed. It would be nice if you could click on one and see the top X most recent mentions, or at least the links to those comments.

Questions
Over what time window is the leaderboard calculated
From 2 comments
What's the window of time used here and how frequently is it updated?
