On Monday, I wrote about using Google Trends as a resource for investing ideas. I took a look at three restaurant businesses which, while they were on my mind at the time, probably weren’t the best candidates for this kind of research.
Below, I’ll take a look at three Google Trends charts and compare them against some corresponding stock charts.
- Trends for “bull market” and “bear market” vs. the S&P 500.
- Trends for “bed”, “bath”, and “kitchen” vs. Bed Bath and Beyond (BBBY).
- Trends for “book” and “books” vs. Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN).
