Fuck Twitter; Long Live StockTwits

Aside from the iBankCoin team, my only real internet allies are the good folks over at Stocktwits.com. Howard Lindzon (“The Lindzon Lifestyle”) and Phil (Dr. Evil) Pearlman have always been honest and trustworthy with me, one more than the other (just a little). They are good peeps and deserve all of the money in the world (except my own), AND MORE. Although, I do take exception to Howard’s taste in fine fare, as he regularly frequents low end pizzerias for food and “grub.”  However, being the kind and understanding person that I am, I look past his grotesque habits and chalk it up to a “rough childhood.” At any rate, this post is not about my superior taste in food or shoes, but StockTwits’ monster win.

We all love to hate the Yhoo message boards; but it is the crown jewel of finance on the web. Let’s face it. STARTING NOW, fuckface, StockTwits stream will be featured on  Yhoo Finance stock pages, under “Market Pulse.” How sick is that?

First, let me start by saying, the Stocktwits iphone app is a must have,  just like the iBankCoin app. However, if you own a bullshit blog, this is a game changer for you. Because Yhoo is using StockTwits’ api, rendering Twitter retarded, as it no longer makes sense to post on Twitter, with a little “$” linking it to StockTwits.

Why? Stick around for exactly 3.5 more seconds and I will tell you.

Answer: Because it won’t show up in the Market Pulse stream, you imbecile.

In summary, StockTwits is on the verge of breaking out to the upside. If only I owned some stock. Oh shit, I fucking do (“The Fly” wins again) own stock!  Moreover, if you want to be heard by the growing StockTwits crowd and mammoth Yhoo Finance population, especially you third rate bloggers, you will need to start posting directly onto the StockTwits feed, STARTING NOW.

    Hate to break the news but Stock-twits is the internet equivalent of a Dirty Gay bathhouse, which will soon be busted by the Porn loving SEC.

    But then you that are reading this are probably well aware of that…

    i could care less what other people are doing. i do my own homework and come up with your own trade ideas. … first year trading i’m up over 40% this year. if your only reason for being in a trade is because some idiot on the interwebs says so then you will FAIL… now get to work.

    Someone want to explain why Santelli and Schiff are always cheerleading china? How do we trust any economic reports out of a country where people go to prison for resending a twitter message. That country is like a giant shrodinger’s cat experiment.

    A giant theoretical paradox.

    I mean, maybe GDP is 10% , maybe its negative. No one can know, because they’ll toss you out of a 20th story window if you report bad economic news.

    And back here in the real world, I’m watching the Vanessa Williams version of “A (Diva’s) Christmas Carol.”

    Hottest Ebenezer Scrooge extant.

    And oh yeah…I’m still selling…

    Not all, mind you, not even close to all.

    Its a pity. Once Agent X knows about the “Pulse”, he may have to destroy it. He has only one motto – Cannot allow too much information!

    Principals of Stock Twits are members of the tribe? Neighbor Fly must be talking about Howard’s love for gefilte fish pizza.

    I’m just hoping my 3rd tier blog will be elevated to a 2.5-tier blog via added $YHOO traffic.
