is it because of the share to facebook buttons on those webpages?

Thanks for reporting false positive cases.

Yes, exactly. It's a known problem. Any entity merely mentioned in either the title or the description will be matched to a ticker. I'm planned to use some NLU technique to extract keywords to mitigate this problem.

@weilinear There is another term prefix TT: you can use to avoid such false positive cases. TT:fb will only match related entities with story titles.

The quickstart section gives a request URL for better relevance.
