the canary in the coal mine
Muppet slayers (GS and the like) are sharpening their tools.
The problem is that the Muppets LOVE IT!!!
Reminds me of a quote attributed to H. L. Menken. He supposedly said that "people deserve the government they vote for and deserve to get it good and hard"! That is true of New York City (vis a vis Deblasio) and the muppets that are buying Twitter. I hope they are hedged with puts or some such. How does one hedge Deblasio I wonder?
I am completely psyched! I bought a bunch of this stock weeks ago for a nickel a share.
Tweeter Home Entertainment Group Inc. (THEGQ; formerly known as TWTRQ but changed once "investors" mistook it for twatter and sent bankrupt stereo retailer up 1800% in pink sheet trading) -
0.05 0.00%
Viewing the above twatter snatch in its entirety, I note the gilded cage on the topmost line.
"The problem is that the Muppets LOVE IT!!"
Thats because Muppets love to take the whole hand up their ass!!
Tweet! Tweet! Say the bird brains.
TWITTERPAITED!
Long NYC Private Security Firms
The bird has crashed.
Would you like to eat your crow warm or cold?
Anyone remember how the gold market reacted last year when Tyler tweeted about a possible margin hike? The algos went ale-shit in a matter of a few seconds.
With so many algos running of of various tweets and twitter.com with the ability to tweet impersonating anyone and everyone... Commeth the IPO all the worlds HFTs become tweeter's little bitches!
Hedge DaBlahsio? Move to The Fatsos State
"people deserve the government they vote for and deserve to get it good and hard"!
You still think voting matters?
does muppet taste like chicken?
Looks like it needs a good hit of digital birdshot.
When it hits the ground with a thud
You know that it's time to run
I don't facebook, don't twitter, and sure as fuck don't throw good money after bad. Have fun out there
A bird in hand is worth two after the IPO!
The name says it all: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twit
Pity the poor bastard who bought at $50.
What?... a human actually bought this POS?
HFT algobots are like Skynet... plugged into everything.
He can sell it at $25 next week and still feel good about getting in at the first-day price.
Rockin Robin, tweet, tweet
Rockin' Robin, tweet, tweet.
Yummmm.
I hope my "investment"in this hamburger restaurant chain is sound, for if my twatter "investment" isn't a rockin' Mr. Margin will surely come a knockin'.
They started goin' steady and bless my soul, they out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole!
Pretty birdie.
Go! Pretty birdie.
Over.
That does not compute.
<But will it blend?>
what is the 26?
just in case you are not a shill ... TWTR opened at $26 per share. It was ONLY available to commercial banks and investment firms etc initially, who drove it up to $45+ by the time it was opened up to the public this morning.
once it hit $50 per share, a significant number of "professional" traders, who had doubled their money, sold to the idiot retail investors (aka Joe Public) who were rushing in to buy this "super hot stock" for a company that has never made a dime of profit.
i hope that explains it.
Some people (like me) are slow. I c/p'd your comment elswhere, and linked to the comment (I redistributed the wealth. Im working on my resume as a 'public servant'). It's a very simple concept, and you put it very succinctly whereas even a potential muppet can understand.
Those who were allocated subscribed shares @ a pre-market trading price, as in yesterday, at $17 or so (roughly), will be the ones that make any money, assuming the share price of this flaming turd doesn't fall below that prior to the 90 day "lockup" period.
SSDD.

lol me 2 , thnx hoarder
Myspace was replaced by facebook, which will be replaced by twitter, which will be replaced by the next cool things that teenagers do.

Ow! My balls!!
Do you mean, discovering girls and getting a job?
Who needs a job when you have parents and sugar daddy G-man to cover it all?
Jumping off cliffs would probably be for the best.

... new and improved version of .gov surveillanceware.
I don't think we can IPO *that*...
Twat are you saying?
HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY...
Twatter is going much higher. It won't top until there are no skeptics. Henry Blodgett hated Google at 85 but loves it at 1,000.
If it's underwritten by GS, MS, and JPM, it's a buy and hold. They will work everything else out.
Over.
There's a sucker born every nano-second.
Looking at the screenshot, reminds me of in 2007 when I had to dig to a linked back-page on marketwatch, or go to Kitco to find out the current gold price. Now it's front and center on every currency and stock chart. How things are changing.

p.s. - Anyone believe the +2.8% GDP print?
Take 85 billion, multiply by 3, and you get approximately 2.8% as a proportion of quarterly GDP "growth."
Don't forget to multiply that by 9 to account for fractional reserve banking shenanigans (which will be used in the quarters ahead to boost GDP even further).
"Pull"!
If you couldn't buy at $26, did the price really exist?
The IPO price is bullshit. Just something CNBC can use to claim shares doubled when they really dropped.
Guy on CNBC this morning saying Twitter should have priced the IPO at $35 and that they "missed out" on a lot of money.
Um...if it is offered at $26/share and sells for $46, what would an initial price of $35 matter?
Am I missing something?
The taste the twits left on the table for their bankers. Twitter placed their shares with the investment banks @ $25, and that syndicate has turned around and offloaded the same shares to the public at $46 or whatever.
Some of the twitter guys and gals (and insiders) sold their shares at $26 which was the IPO price. If they would have priced it at $35, they would have got 33% more for their shares. True ....the price is $46 now but they only got $26 for the shares they sold as part of the IPO. I think the other twitter empolyees agreed to a lock-up period so if they want to sell their shares on the open market they may have to wait 3-4 months (forget what the peiod was).
stateside
Seven years of bad luck coming to a country near you (in 2015 ... imo)
I had the unfortunate displeasure of listening to CNBC this morning and they were discussing the verbiage for 'all time highs' in the stock market. I would say I was surprised, but I wasn't.
Is it 'new highs', 'new all time highs', 'fresh new all time highs', 'all time new highs'.
After a good shake of my head, a few laughs and a recollection of previous tops I sold some nasdaq futures. I'll probably get stopped out at 3:05, but we've got to be close to a top.
BTFATH!
Did I miss a headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety?

Too bad you couldn't buy some options on this thing. I'd love to put on some spreads right now

I like that, let me finish it for you. "May The Bird of Twitter Fly Up Your Shitter".
I don't call it intelligent investing when Twatter hasn't made a dime of profit since it's Corp roll out years ago.
Now their approved to become an IPO? Wow..
will settle at $32.00
"Twit" in the coalmine
Oohhh! Look Hunneeey! A brand new Casino game!
Look at all the lights and chirping sounds! Where do I insert my dollar?
I don't know guys. This thing's got legs, if it holds up above $26, this could very well break $100 by next year.
My humble opinion. Let the slaying begin.
Ironic indeed.
Twatter is going up and up and metals shown in the same screenshot are red..........again.
Thanks for the salt in the already gaping wound(ok that was sarc)
Quick...where's Dick Cheney when you need him?
