These bots don't actually do much analysis. They just weight keywords and sources. "Buys" or "acquisition" in a WSJ headline has a pretty clear cut meaning. Financial headlines also tend to be pretty easy to parse (e.g. "X Buys Y").

Do you think "buys" would be less lucrative than "in talks to buy"? I imagine by the time company A buys company B, there has already been rumor and the markets have already moved to reflect that speculation.
