Up 23% on Twitter now, having bought when it was low.
I have a small amount in Twitter right now, though at one point a couple of years ago I did make a 100% gain before selling and reinvesting elsewhere (on Freetrade of course)
Itâs an incredible platform.
More generally, Iâve enjoyed seeing âsocial networksâ find their own niche over the last few years, rather than being lumped in and compared to each other.
There was a time when Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Snapchat were viewed as the same thing whereas in reality they have evolved (as consumer usage of them has evolved) and are so very different from one another.
Social platforms 2.0 is well underway.
Potentially a cool future feature for :freetrade: - price alerts and after-hour trading prices:
Elliott who? September 2019:
TWTR up 7%.
This is a serious article by a serious publication (Recode):
Will Jack move to Africa this year for up to six months?
Jack stays as a CEO, will do a $2 billion buyback, planning to grow monetisable users, etc.
But will he still be moving to Africa for a few months?
TWTR is up over 4%.
Forbes:
- Technology investor Silver Lakeâs $1 billion investment will help fund a $2 billion share repurchase program on Twitterâs part, the company said Monday; Silver Lakeâs investment is a lifeline for Dorsey and Twitter, allowing the company to keep him as CEO.
- In past weeks, Elliot Management âone of the biggest activist investments fundsâ quietly collected more than a 4% stake in Twitter, making it one of the social media giantâs largest shareholders.
- On February 21, Elliot Management nominated four new directors to Twitterâs board just before a nomination deadline, according to The New York Times .
- Elliot Management reportedly wanted to oust Dorsey as CEO in an attempt to fire up growth for the social media platform, according to TechCrunch.
- A co-CEO of Silver Lake, Egon Durban and Elliot Management partner Jesse Cohn will take seats on Twitterâs board and on a special temporary board committee to monitor Twitterâs management structure.
- As part of the pact, Twitter has alsocommitted to a plan to grow its monetizable daily active users by at least 20% with accelerated revenue growth year over year.
Will no doubt will wipe a few $$ off, potentially a good time to buy if anyone is a fanâŠ
Not much movement yet, considering the severity of it.
Hackers tricked Twitter employees, hijacked accounts in digital currency scam
Not much movement yet
Wait till the market opensâŠ
Up 6% today on earnings. Stock price at the highest this year.
Twitter down 17% in after hours
If you are in cheap. Never turn down profit. Might consider it before big drop when market opens.
Like Clubhouse
Finally! You know if Twitter was run like Amazon it would already have a newsletter thing, and a clubhouse thing thatâs popping, and antitrust lawsuits lol kidding about the last one.
This acquisition makes sense because the newsletter people all bombard Twitter with their long forms, so might as well go full circle and make some money off it.
Starting today, weâre making Revueâs Pro features free for all accounts and lowering the paid newsletter fee to 5%, a competitive rate that lets writers keep more of the revenue generated from subscriptions.
And their first change is more money for the creators.
Woot! Whoâs holding on to their Twit stocks?
How can you have brought $TWTR in 2014 and still be in the red today?
Meanwhile -
$FB - 5x
$APPL 5x + dividends
$MSRF 10X + dividends
S&P500 - 2.5x +dividends
Surely something need to happen here?
Thatâs insane! I had never looked but would have guessed some rise above 50% min. Seems the IPO was massively over priced and the lockdown helped to get the SP up so it may plummet again now that people are not locked up complaining online.
