The buzz word is “Twitter” and Wall Street wants to get this IPO right, following the Facebook disaster. These stocks are trading at very rich valuations because, it’s widely believed, this is where the growth is going to be, for the foreseeable future.
To play Twitter ahead of the IPO, GSVC and SVVC are your plays.
Based on price to sales, which is how social media stocks are being assessed, here is the run down.

Why isn’t GOGO in that list?
GOGO is priced cheaper than PCLN and TRIP
not exactly social media
ANGI I’m waiting in the tall grass.
What about YHOO? Marissa Meyers is a rock star!
Hey Fly, your past pick KWK finally looks ready to explode with natty behaving the way it is. Still positive on this name?
Haven’t taken a look in awhile.
The list is also ordered, pretty accurately, as to where the individual company is on the growth curve. Don’t hunt the 8X’ers thinking you’ll get a big bump. The bump will be in the top of the list or companies at the beginning or middle of the growth curve. Hence why Twitter is a better IPO buy than FB.
