Birdseye this got to be a good stock to buy over the next little while.
Trump alone going to make this stock skyrocket over the next 4 years, since it seems he will be running his administration from there.

4 years? No bro, that's the reason to flee twitter.

1. The generation that makes twitter profitable is not a pro-trump demographic. Twitter has a revenue problem.
2. Trump WILL abandon twitter - his personality needs control - he will grow to despise the open, vocal anti-trump twitter universe.
3. Twitter is in decline, outside of this "trump bump" there is low to no user growth
4. The app market is facking fickle, 10 years ago Skype, yesterday twitter, today snapchat

I don't see twitter as a buy, and the only other time I said so was with some company called ?Blackberry smile

If you buy twitter, look for pain. $18.64 as of today.

Ok! Ok! Agree, not over the next 4 years. Lets say over the next year, cuz after Trump done with this thing after a year, they will be forced to change the name from Twitter to Twit

lol lol

Yeah, I'd be wary of the lot of them. Unless you're in a quick turnover kind of game where as soon as a company blows up, Facebook or someone buys them out.

That said, thank goodness Trump sticks to Twitter. Can you imagine him on Snapchat or Periscope?

That is timely and interesting – just this morning, 2/9/2017 @ 7: AM – notice the price target announced is $25 ---- it’s at $18 in pre – market ---- the one I picked up 1400 shares of is APOP – it’s an Israeli pharmaceutical – it went up 18% yesterday ------TWTR – not really my liking.

though I actually join Twitter a week ago - man it just inundate U with a whole lot a shit

there is always the possibility that the next few tweets from Trump can send that price through the roof. Especially when he does them at 3am in the morning in his bathrobe.
lol lol
You know one day he go make a mistake and Twitter will be the first to know lol

Ivanka Trump products are not doing well. Retailers are dropping her product lines like crazy.

You are correct.

Retailers (not voters) see Trump as toxic - or at the least demographic disparity - and if you look at his base, the hardcore (middle) American blue collar worker: they are NOT going to shop at stores like Nordstrom. Even TJ Maxx has pulled the plug.

The "opulent" brand image of Trump, and his decedent business do not match the Trump voter demographic. The two co-exist out of optimism (whether real or not) for jobs/stronger economy.

So many retailers have pulled the plug on his retail Brand. Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Belk etc have all scaled back. Macy's maybe next.

No, its an alternate fact.

Albert Camus wrote a book which was all about the absurdity of life ---- one thing I remember from that book is – “There is no truth but merely truths” -------
Which I take to mean – you need all the ‘truths” to get to the truth – and so far no one has them all

Good point. A good portion of his demographics are rural Americans.

'Antinomy' in philosophy - a contradictory and illogical conclusion produced by two apparently correct and reasonable statements or facts

File under follow-up:

Birdseye this got to be a good stock to buy over the next little while.


The stock price of Twitter has fallen substantially in the last 4 days. When I first warned "do not buy" it was at $18.70, pregnant with Trump bump optimism from some here. Look at the close of day price friday: $15.58 - I don't see twitter north of $20 for months, if not ever. The exodus of users will be BECAUSE of politics.

Of course it can, and perhaps will rebound marginally, but this stock is a no fly zone for an investor looking to make real money. My conclusion carlo is the same: If you buy twitter, look for pain.

Know your stock, know the market it is in. The only time Twitter is a "buy" is if it drops below $9 and you gamble on a buy out... and that shit is risky.
