Derwent Capital Markets, a London investment firm that has long been touting itself as the first social media-based hedge fund, has opened its doors.

The £25 milllion ($40.5 milion) hedge fund is basing investments on an analysis of 10% of the 10 million tweets sent daily. The firm applies trading algorithms and sentiment analysis to those tweets before making its bets

Soon There will be software based robots that make more trust worthy hedgefund managers and stock investors with off the hook profit records. What will Wall Street do then?

Not that you'd understand the concept of High Frequency Trading, you probably don't even know what a hedge fund is, but Goldman has been using a HFT supercomputer for at least 5 years. Nothing new. Time to try bitching about something else, champ!

I heard Tweeter was going to start a loan company or something soon. Something those web bots predicted not to long ago.

You are aware that speculation is actually beneficial to the economy, right?
