Social media comments have in the past had an instantaneous effect on stock markets. This paper investigates the sentiments expressed on the social media platform Twitter and their pr edictive impact on the Stock Market. We evaluate Marsh McLennan prediction models with Multi-Instance Learning (ML) and ElasticNet Regression1,2,3,4 and conclude that the MMC stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+3 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold MMC stock.
Keywords: MMC, Marsh McLennan, stock forecast, machine learning based prediction, risk rating, buy-sell behaviour, stock analysis, target price analysis, options and futures.
Key Points
- Understanding Buy, Sell, and Hold Ratings
- What is prediction model?
- Operational Risk

MMC Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology
The search for models to predict the prices of financial markets is still a highly researched topic, despite major related challenges. The prices of financial assets are non-linear, dynamic, and chaotic; thus, they are financial time series that are difficult to predict. Among the latest techniques, machine learning models are some of the most researched, given their capabilities for recognizing complex patterns in various applications. We consider Marsh McLennan Stock Decision Process with ElasticNet Regression where A is the set of discrete actions of MMC stock holders, F is the set of discrete states, P : S × F × S → R is the transition probability distribution, R : S × F → R is the reaction function, and γ ∈ [0, 1] is a move factor for expectation.1,2,3,4

Conclusions
Marsh McLennan assigned short-term B2 & long-term B1 forecasted stock rating. We evaluate the prediction models Multi-Instance Learning (ML) with ElasticNet Regression1,2,3,4 and conclude that the MMC stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+3 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold MMC stock.
