    Have any of you guys here ever bought Twitter stocks? I know it maybe too late to invest in some (because the right time would have been when they were first released), but I was thinking that maybe it could be a great way to make some extra money if I buy them low and then sell again when they are high?

    I dont know, maybe it is too late to actually make a great profit off of them. Wow the stock market is all in with risk!!

    I wouldn't consider Twitter a great stock for a short term trade. It's pretty saturated at this point and really needs to figure out more ways to make money. Also remember that the market hasn't really had a down day for a while so you should take that into account as well. There is still room to go up but sell off could always occur for a day or two.

    Well, I'm not doing any short term trades so I'm really not an expert on those. But do technical analysis and looking really well into the numbers when deciding which stock to trade with.

    I personally wouldn't invest in Twitter, that's just my personal choice, I don't invest in something that doesn't really have a reliable income source.
    Sure you can make an profit in the short term, if that's what you're looking for.

    I personally wouldn't invest in Twitter. It's short term and that might work for some, but not for me.

    They don't make money so don't buy their stock

    Okay thank you for all of your advice! I have decided to not invest in Twitter stocks because yes it's true, they only make money from the advertised tweets that pop up every now and then. Thank you all!

    I have a put option on it, and recently a small speculative long stock position. If the stock moves up or down significantly, I'll make money.

    Not something I'm putting a huge amount in - a small gamble, basically. Not something I'd say a beginner with limited funds and limited knowledge should fool with.

    I put them in the same broad category as companies like Amazon - lots of revenue growth, little to no profit, weak margins, etc. Volatile stocks that may or may not go up, but rarely stay put either way. This is true of many tech companies, biotechs, smaller energy / alternative energy companies, etc.

    I agree with you there. At this point in the decade we're at a point where no new big social media apps are being released (just reuses of yesterday's market) so it seems like a bad idea to invest in something like that. Especially for short term trade.

    I never thought about investing in twitter. I most likely would no do it though I personally do not think it would be a great investment.
