Hey @Veeky Forums

Just because you've heard of a company doesn't mean they're good.

twitter is dying. the active userbase is mostly retarded. instagram and facebook are where the money is.

A company's current value is essentially worth their cash flow until the end. The fact Twitter has been completely stagnant(as a company) and has the price it does means one of two things: a) it's selling at exactly what it's worth right now, or b) people are hanging on to false hopes and it's very overvalued.

In either situation, they're definitely not a buy, and your dad and uncle are morons for thinking they're undervalued.

and if they mean "low" as in simply: $18 a share is not a big number to them, they're even bigger idiots. I'm going with the market on this one, and keeping out.

I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. Still surprised Instagram didn't sink either.

Twitter is basically a lower-quality Facebook and Instagram is like a Facebook but with a them around photography.

Disclaimer- I am not advising for or against buying Facebook stock.

I just took a look at their last 10-Q. My God what an ugly picture.

Look at their cash flow statement. Almost all of their money is going into purchasing marketable securities and they're even LOSING at that. The fact they are so top-heavy in that kind of investment shows they have NOTHING worthy to invest in internally, which means they are NOT growing. This company is far dead. I haven't seen a tech company so dead. I would short them if I were you.

I think Twitter is the last company on the market I would invest in besides obvious pump and dumps.

I truly believe simply typing three letters into google + stock until you find something is a better investment than Twitter.

I actually did that once upon a time. Found myself putting 400 in MTG which quickly tripled! I still have it.

Unless they have insider knowledge... and something tells me they don't... they should be looking at fundamentals. Pic related.

Tell them you'll invest in Twitter when it has a profitable year and not before. This isn't a perfect rule - I might have bought Tesla at $60 if I didn't follow it - but when a company loses money year after year, nobody invests in it. They're just speculating that it will do something in the future it's never been able to do in the past.

OP here, HA HA HA!!! this was bait you stupid fucking assholes! i'm actually a 32 year old virgin from Canada. We don't even have Red Robins up here. I'm actually short TWTR right now (put options).

So, are you fuckin' guys gonna make #twittergate happen or what :(
I'd like to make some fuckin' money here if that's not too much to goddamn ask.

> i'm actually a 32 year old virgin from Canada.

You're using the word invest. If you intend to invest, read the prospectus and evaluate accordingly. Do you want to be part owner of Twitter? If so, why? How do they make money? What happens if the way they make money is no longer viable? If the stock goes down and stays down for the next 10 to 15 years, are you going to be confident in the company enough to hold (or buy) more shares? How do you know?

For me, most individual "investments" are just specutative bets. If you're going to bet, that's fine, just don't delude yourself into thinking that your "investing" in a company you don't have a firm grasp on.

For me, I don't like betting. Dollar cost averaging on a few index funds is my current plan. That way I won't have to do independent research on 8000 different companies to determine one or two winners. We're also in a bull market right now, it doesnt make sense for me to invest heavily in individual companies. I'm looking forward to a bear market for more speculative opportunities but it just sounds like a bad idea right now IMO, OP.

wtf it's B8 yous asshole! maybe try reading the thread before you reply to it next time?

Also, i undertstand what investing is. jeez.

shorting on twitter has all the exact same unpredictability problems as investing.
you're going to short everytime some controversy happens only to find no crash and lose money....and then it just slowly creeps away like myspace.

I watched the whole thing it was pretty good, you should really give up on shorting twitter though

ok thanks. i think i will sell my position tomorrow and preserve my capital. it probably has lower to go yet, but who can time the market. i hope jack dorsey dies.
