# Social Arbitrage

Explore social arbitrage research using cultural, social, and product trends.

## Social arbitrage

Social arbitrage is an investment-research approach that studies cultural, social, and product trends. Researchers may use these observations to develop and test hypotheses about public companies.

TickerTrends offers alternative-data tools that can support this research approach. Signals can help identify topics for further analysis, including changes in search, social discussion, or digital activity.

Each signal has limitations. It may be estimated, delayed, incomplete, or revised. It does not guarantee a company outcome, market reaction, or investment result.

To learn more about how this strategy works in practice, check out our detailed [article](https://substack.com/home/post/p-158608153?utm_campaign=post\&utm_medium=web) and watch this [interview with Chris Camillo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJZNlyK41Pc), where he breaks down how social arbitrage helped him find market-beating trades using nothing more than the internet, curiosity, and a notebook.
