Google Domestic Trends (GDT) continues to be good resource for investors

by Zack Miller on September 15, 2010

As I wrote in my book, Tradestream, there are tremendous resources out there for investors that don’t fit into a neat little box that we know as an investment tool.

Co-lateral resources are very valuable to investors even though some are completely non-financial.  Things like Amazon rankings (if you’re looking to play the next Apple product, for instance) and search data can help forecast future stock movement.  Google Domestic Trends is search data broken out by industry, overlaying stock price movement.  googledomestictrendsupdate

Anyway, it’s one year after their launch (happy birthday, I guess) and the Google Finance blog has a post out today reminding us to check in every once in a while.
