From the Inside Flap

The Internet as we know it has changed many things for stocks, markets, and finance in general. The “social web” and advances in technology have helped create tools and platforms that are empowering traders and investors, and allowing them to capture consistent profits along the way.

StockTwits® has emerged as the leading stock market social network, providing individuals with a vehicle to exchange ideas and receive real-time market insights. Made up of over 100,000 people from all corners of the world, trading thousands of instruments, StockTwits is all about crowdsourcing the best ideas and talent, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here in this new book.

Created by StockTwits cofounder and CEO Howard Lindzon and his colleagues Philip Pearlman and Ivaylo Ivanhoff, this unique guide is comprised of over forty contributed chapters from both well-known professional traders and individual traders who have attracted a following on StockTwits.
