Stock Cloud is a tag cloud like display of stock ticker symbols. The larger the ticker symbol the more frequent that company distributes press releases.
Stock Cloud began as data mining experiment with a very simple goal — "Could they extract Business Partnerships by tracking press releases?"

Using in-house developed code they parsed press releases and extracted any relevant stock symbol information. It's this extracted data that is the basis of Stock Cloud.
