What is there not to like about this one at this time in our history? I see an easy jump up to $35 or $40 by end of year.

Beergeek, my dislike of Twitter has noting to do with it's invertibility. I'm sure the stock is a great investment, it just falls into my "no thank you" pile as I dislike the product and business model. I won't invest in FB for the same reason, nor will I invest in tobacco or pot stocks. Just a personal preference, nothing more. I hope it becomes a 10 bagger for you!

Makes sense, can't argue with that logic. I don't want a 10 bagger on Twitter (I think I will be dead before it gets to $300 a share), just looking for it to run up a bit more.

I think Twitter is a great short sale candidate right now. Trump has been permanentlhy banned, and there has already been a rush to the exits of a lot of conservative posters. I have lost roughly 25 followers in less than a week. I rarely do any short sells - if ever - but I'm going to looking at this one over the weekend more carefully.

Social media is the scourge of modern society. I believe that in 10 or 20 years, social media will be will be looked at in the same light as oil, gun and tobacco companies today. I’m not daring enough to short it though.

Pulling a Rachel now? Letting political bias cloud your financial sense.

Twitter will be fine.

BeerGeek, I like you.

But how many false narrative political ideas are you going to believe in that effects your investing, many times poorly?

The Twitter purge has been beautiful to watch. Putting an end to all of the nuttiness that has flourished there for far too long. Twitter should see a nice boost from their recent actions. Long overdue.

Let’s see...#1 market going to tank if Biden wins (wrong), #2 market going to tank if Democrats win the special election (wrong), will this be #3? Twitter was down after hours but only time will tell how this move impacts its performance over the next 12 months.

You forgot the big one. #4 Trump is going to take over the country Q style.

I’m fed up with social and other media in every aisle and I think a growing number of people are feeling the same way. Everything has become a propaganda machine or information grab and these companies have the monopoly mindset that makes them ripe to be unseated, “What are you going to do about it, we are the only game in town?”

After this election cycle, I think there is a real opportunity for an actual neutral media outlet. The question is, is there a company out there who can fill that role, and if so, what’s the name of it?
