NFT: Please Explain Twitter Stock

Samiam : 11/29/2021 5:59 pm
I’ve read over and over that Dorsey was a part time executive and that the company needed a full time person (duh). So, he leaves the company and the drops almost 3% while the market went up big time today. Can anyone explain why it dropped like this?
buy on  
pjcas18 : 11/29/2021 6:03 pm : link
rumor sell on news....

but seriously, I do know quite a few people absolutely loading up on twitter right now, they have it as one of their best buys.

I am not as bullish, but people love it at this price.
I had it way below this price  
mattlawson : 11/29/2021 6:31 pm : link
and sold it for much less too. Not to make it political, but why it took a White House to leverage it the way Trump did to send to market price up to where it should have been is beyond me.

Spaces is a great feature - basically eliminates the need for talk radio if you think about it. There was one that was all giants fans the other day after Garrett was fired. was a commercial free 3 hour rant from fans all over the place. was great
Twitter went up when the news broke  
Vanzetti : 11/29/2021 6:57 pm : link
it then went down. I think its because of retail traders like myself who buy and sell for quick profit. Twitter has been a gold mine because it keeps rising and falling 25%. That's what people lie me live for.

That's complicated with Dorsey since he was in and out.

Not-so-good reports circulating about the new CEO

and how he's hostile to free speech. May drive users away.

Yeah, he has attacked the concept of free speech as antiquated. He seems to be one of those who thinks of himself as a truth teller.
But in general political forces only have a temporary effect

Ultimately economic self interest drives the market. People may rant and rave about their pet issues and even initially invest based upon those issues but as soon as they start to lose money, they sell and buy Exxon stock.

under new CEO. I don't want to lead this thread in unintended places, but this is targeted IMO (the video part).

not that it's passe. I think any honest reading of 1A is clear he's right. It's a for profit service and they are allowed to control the content they propagate.

That said, I would rate twitter as a buy. Dorsey was an odd CEO because he was almost aggressively not trying to squeeze value out of the service for shareholders. I feel like there's a CEO for this company that will be much better at monetizing the service. Maybe this new guy is the one.

Why is this targeted and whom is it targeting?

This is just a step in a program started months ago. It didn’t happen overnight.

I’m surprised this wasn’t a rule already. If I send someone a text in a group chat I would not expect or want that to appear on Twitter.
So what do you guys think?  
DC Gmen Fan : 11/30/2021 11:42 am : link
buy at this price? Maybe a little play money?

If it goes below 40, buy. I would even buy now, just not a ton.

Social media complicates a simple distinction between public and private entities. That's the whole problem. "Abuse" gets defined in terms that are implicitly political.
