This program goes thru reddit, finds the most mentioned tickers and uses Vader SentimentIntensityAnalyzer to calculate the ticker compound value.

Program Parameters

subs = []           sub-reddit to search
post_flairs = {}    posts flairs to search || None flair is automatically considered
goodAuth = {}       authors whom comments are allowed more than once
uniqueCmt = True    allow one comment per author per symbol
ignoreAuthP = {}    authors to ignore for posts
ignoreAuthC = {}    authors to ignore for comment 
upvoteRatio = float upvote ratio for post to be considered, 0.70 = 70%
ups = int           define # of upvotes, post is considered if upvotes exceed this #
limit = int         define the limit, comments 'replace more' limit
upvotes = int       define # of upvotes, comment is considered if upvotes exceed this #
picks = int         define # of picks here, prints as "Top ## picks are:"
picks_ayz = int     define # of picks for sentiment analysis

Data:

Includes US stocks with market cap > 100 Million, and price above $3. It doesn't include penny stocks.
You can download data from here:

Implementation: I am using sets for 'x in s' comparison, sets time complexity for "x in s" is O(1) compare to list: O(n).

Limitations: It depends mainly on the defined parameters for current implementation: It completely ignores the heavily downvoted comments, and there can be a time when the most mentioned ticker is heavily downvoted, but you can change that in upvotes variable.
