PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jim Willcox ? What’s the winning combination? The Super Bowl is an ideal event to highlight TVs  especially those with larger screens. Also  current TV models have been out for nearly a year by February  so there’s been a natural decrease in price  says Jim Willcox  senior electronics editor at Consumer Reports.
Scour social media. Retailers often reward their social media followers with notifications about sales. These act as another “tool in your arsenal” in your pursuit of a good deal   Willcox  says.
Look for a price match guarantee. Check a retailer’s price matching policy. Some stores will refund you the difference if an item drops in price within a certain window after purchase. The one caveat?  Willcox  says items purchased during sale periods like Black Friday are often excluded from price matching.
Check a retailer’s price matching policy. Some stores will refund you the difference if an item drops in price within a certain window after purchase. The one caveat?  Willcox  says items purchased during sale periods like Black Friday are often excluded from price matching. Do your homework. Electronics retailer Best Buy also said the lead-up to the Super Bowl and the holiday season are two of the best times to buy a TV. But if you’re shopping in a pinch  the store also offers a Weekly Ad and Deal of the Day section. If you can’t time your TV purchase  you might still be able to find a deal. Other retailers may have similar options — check their websites or follow their social media to get their deals.

SOLUTION: Positive

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mark Cuban ? â¢  Mark Cuban  met  his  wife  advertising executive Tiffany  at the gym in 1997.
"Shark Tank" star and Dallas Mavericks owner  Mark Cuban  has long teased a run for the White House.
As an outspoken critic of US President Donald Trump   Cuban  even weighed the possibility of taking over the Republican ticket at some point.
But if  Cuban 's wife Tiffany Cuban has anything to say about it  a run for the White House may be off the table. CNBC reported that he said he would be far more tempted to toss his hat into the political ring if he was single.

SOLUTION: Positive

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Larry Fink ? Larry Fink  is probably the most powerful person most Americans have never heard of. And now  he  is deploying  his  vast power to cajole corporate America into pursuing a left wing agenda under the guise of asking them to âcontribute to society.â
 Laurence D. Fink  is the founder and chief executive of the enormous investment firm BlackRock  which manages in the neighborhood of $6 trillion of assets. That enormous hoard of financial assetsâwhich it invests on behalf of individuals with 401(k) plans institutions such as pension funds  state and local governments  Fortune 500 companies  sovereign wealth funds  and college endowmentsâmakes BlackRock the largest investor in the world. It gives BlackRockâand Fink himselfâenormous sway in corporate boardrooms and the stock market.
Now  Fink  is deploying  his  financial clout by demanding business leaders adhere to a left-wing agenda. In  his  annual letter released Tuesday   Fink  announced that BlackRock will require that companies make a âpositive contribution to societyâ and âserve a social purpose.â
Unfortunately   Fink  goes beyond calling for increased corporate responsibility.  His  letter makes it clear that  he  defines the act of making a contribution very narrowly.  He  wants companies to adopt left-wing policy goals in the name of corporate responsibility.
