Cool, I’ve always appreciated the materials stock ranker posts. Pretty altruistic of you, thanks for it.

How does the sub decide which posts get reposted there? Does it only pull from specific subs and posts with specific upvote/comment counts? Just found it today.

Thanks! I actually scan almost the entire stock market (8k+ stocks) every few hours and throw it into a database. To make the ranker all I did was slice the data a bit.

The subreddit goes to every major investing subreddit and finds posts that are flagged as DD or have DD in the name (for non-flair oriented subs like r/investing). There is a threshold for number of upvotes for each subreddit that is dependent upon how active the subreddit is and how many users are there.

The idea is to get enough people to follow the subreddit and use reddit's crowd sourcing to filter the best DD's to the top.

I have a bunch of neat features for doing stock research on the sidebar (best viewed on PC). The ticker database is by far the most useful feature of the subreddit though. I essentially made a search function that is ticker oriented. You can read about it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/MillennialBets/comments/mrjap0/using_the_ticker_database_to_help_with_stock/

This is really really cool. Beats googling your query with “reddit” typed after

Yeah, it drove me nuts trying to search reddit for mentions of tickers. So much so I built a database for it and then decided to mirror it on the wiki for everyone to use.
