The stock market has been an instrument of
investment for more than 200 years now. The price movements in
the stock market have been an enigma for many financial
analysts and they have tackled this problem with very little
success. The phenomenal advancement in technology led to
increased storage systems, higher processing speed and better
algorithms. Thus, it is more possible now to develop a system for
predicting stock markets. People have this taboo that only big
investors can profit from the stock market and it is a trap for
retail investors or small players. The solution we propose here is
easy to understand and implement. We first do the sentiment
analysis of the selected stock and then suggest whether to buy,
sell or hold. Secondly, we calculate the maximum risk involved in
the investment using a threefold approach; market risk, sector
risk and stock risk. Finally, using Support vector Regression
(SVR) with three different approaches, we calculate expected
return and compare them with actual returns.
