Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jim Thome is Neutral . "That was huge to hear that from Todd. He's getting older  and he's coming off back surgery. And I know he wants to be strong at the end of the season " said Giambi  who received interest from the Minnesota Twins before they signed Jim Thome to serve as a designated hitter.
 In his last 20 at-bats with the Rockies last season Giambi knocked in 11 runs. He won multiple games with pinch-hits. But he only plays first base  and hits left-handed  so Colorado wasn't sure he would fit this year's roster.
 "He had an invaluable effect on our club beyond anything I even imagined " O'Dowd said Wednesday. "He really helped teach our younger players what it means to slow the game down."
 In Tulowitzki's case  Giambi is a perfect sounding board. Giambi has lived in the shortstop's shoes  dealt with the pressure of a big contract and huge responsibilities.
 "It's definitely humbling to have this role. You dream about having an impact. I got lucky as a young player to have Mark McGwire help me " Giambi said. "I have obviously had a lot of ups and downs  so I can relate to most guys."
 Giambi's advice is more cerebral than you might think. He discusses situational hitting and how to game plan opposing pitchers. And his passion is infectious  according to teammates.
 "He just has a presence about him. I remember telling people that regardless of what happens  I will get to say I played with Jason Giambi " pitcher Huston Street said. "There's a bigness about his personality and profile  but a smallness in the clubhouse. He doesn't think he's better than anybody else and he really cares."
 But Giambi is in Colorado not just because he fits  but because he believes the team can win a ring  something that eluded him with the Yankees.
 "We better kick some (butt) this year " Giambi said. "I didn't come here to finish second. I came back to win a championship."

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hogan is Neutral . "It doesn't matter what the causes are " said  Art Hogan   managing director and chief market strategist at B. Riley Financial  a financial service company. "You've got some great buying opportunities " he told CNBC.
"We're selling everything because we're so concentrated in our ownership of stocks and ETFs that we're creating dislocations that are going to be massive opportunity for active managers and stock pickers "  Hogan  said.
Increased volatility  or uncertainty in the size and direction of market changes  is good for banks   Hogan  said Thursday during "Power Lunch." Add that to rising interest rates and net interest margins and what  Hogan  called a "lighter regulatory touch" and financials are a bargain.
"They're being sold like there is no economy or no economic growth going on "  Hogan  said. "They're being thrown out with the bath water."

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Angela Merkel is Neutral . German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel and  Chancellor Angela Merkel  are seen during a session of the Bundestag in Berlin  Germany  November 21  2017. REUTERS/Axel Schmidt
Emmanuel Macron had won the French presidency on a promise to relaunch Europe. And  Angela Merkel   on track to win a fourth term as German chancellor  looked ready to embrace his bold vision  telling an audience in Bavaria that it was time for Europe to take its fate into its own hands.
So far the SPD leadership has shown no signs that it will go back on its pledge to go into opposition. On Monday   Merkel  appeared to rule out a minority government. So unless something changes  a new election could be the only way forward.
Crucially  polls suggest that a new German election would not give  Merkel  more coalition options than  she  had coming out of the Sept. 24 vote.
Indeed  if voters blamed  her  conservatives for failing to form a government the first time around   she  could emerge even weaker than  she  is now.

Answer:
no
