I wonder what you base your sentiment on. I can't imagine there's much juice left in Twitter sentiment analysis.

You don’t have to be smarter than Twitter, just smarter than the crowd, who aren’t applying Twitter analysis. Take the above article as an extreme but not exceptional case: The correct price for Biden winning the election was $0.99 for weeks before the market was closed, but he was trading much lower over that time.

We were betting on the results of an event that already happened. No Twitter analysis necessary.
