i'm curious - how would you invest in order to take advantage of daily or presumably, hourly trends? what can actually close the loop that quickly on human activity -> financial securities performance?
ex. Goldman Sachs predicts Apple will have $25m sales Q2 2017 at the beginning and some variance of the stock price is based on that public prediction.
If you have finer granularity like Apple is likely already at 10m only a quarter through Q2 then you can invest and expect the Q2 prediction to be exceeded. Slice thinner and thinner until you get to hourly as the market adjusts to finer granularity predictions from companies buying Foursquare data.
For instance, if a company starts running an ad campaign that is particularly effective it will beat expectations in the next quarter. The more granular data you have, the earlier you can pick up the effect and buy the stock.
