    I couldn't agree with you more. That market is super saturated. Once the public knows then it is too late.

    It's up nearly 25% since I took a nibble 3 weeks ago.

    The market for twitter stocks is still in a saturated position and if your intentions are to be in the market for a short amount of time. There are much better alternatives if you are looking into going for that sort of position.

    I never look to social media sites as solid investments. Call me crazy, but for a site like Facebook or Twitter, anything could change at any given moment. Be it user interest or aesthetic design. We saw how much aesthetic design hurt MySpace, and I'd rather not sink money into a similar site and watch it fail that much. Maybe if Twitter merged with another company, or got acquired by one, but not before then. My money is better kept in other investment machines.

    I always refer back to myspace and facebook.
    There was a time when I thought myspace would never die, it was the king, everybody was on it.
    Then this facebook thing comes along, but it was for College kids only and was pretty simple in design.
    Myspace got messy with too many ads and design issues, so everybody start flocking over to facebook when they opened the doors to the general public.
    Will twitter, in search for greater revenues, start showing more ads?
    Will something else take its place?
    If it happened with myspace, it can happen to twitter.

    I don't think it's a very good idea, and generally I don't think it's a very good idea to invest in already huge corporations at all. Some corporations might be worth buying if you can find someone selling they really low... But that's really more of a luck question than anything else, as I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to sell them lower than they are actually worth. And if anyone did, they would be gone in two seconds flat.

    I just have a feeling that huge corporations that are already very successful, can't really become much more sucessful. Yes, they can go up, but it's not like they are going to skyrocket in value like new stocks can. I would however rather spend my money on Twitter than on facebook, but well... There are better stocks to spend your money on, that's for sure.

    It is never too late , as long as you will be able to sale them off, then there will not be any loss,the point is to make profit.

    Look at it this way, Twitter isnt going anywhere anytime soon and probably will just keep getting better and causing stocks to rise. This world cup has seen a surge in the amount of users online.

    I never bought twitter stock. It may be a good short term option if you think something is going to happen but as a long term option I don't believe that anything will end up happening that will make it worth it especially as what seems to be a dying social network eventually.
