Stocktwits

StockTwits is the largest social network for investors and traders, with over two million registered community members and millions of monthly visitors. StockTwits was founded in 2008, with a mission to connect regular investors and traders with each other so they can profit, learn, and have fun. The company received the first annual Shorty Award in the 2008 finance category. Time magazine listed the company as one of their 2010 "50 best websites". The company was also named one of the "top 10 most innovative companies in finance" in 2012 by FastCompany. In June 2013, StockTwits had 230,000 active members. By mid-2019, that figure had increased to two million, and the company premiered free online trading via an iOS app. While StockTwits started as a simple app built on the Twitter platform, the first to organize conversation around tickers using the cashtag (e.g. $AAPL), it has since grown into its own standalone social network of traders, investors, media, public companies, and investment professionals. As the defining voice of “social finance,” StockTwits is the best way to find out what is happening right now in the markets and stocks you care about, and is reimagining financial media for the next generation of investors.
