I love the CTA at the end for his other financial product. Great combination of click-bait headline and well crafted copywriting. Don't think that will go over well with the HN crowd :)

I love the snake oil sales pitch:
"Opportunities to get wealthy from a single investment don't come around often, but they do exist, and our chief technology officer believes he's found one. In this free report, Jeremy Phillips shares the single company that he believes could transform not only your portfolio, but your entire life."
Most people should know better than to click . . .

Facebook dropped down to $18 also before bouncing back. Twitter will also bounce back if they show some money during their quarterly reports. Today, the whole market tanked so in this case weak stocks get more hammered. It is time to buy more shares. This is also one of the strategies

"Now what: Twitter shares are also still reeling after the company turned in better-than-expected top- and bottom-line results last week, but once again left the market wanting with perceived weak monthly active user growth."
Great example of the Wall Street double talk in that paragraph. I always thought a companies stock would see an uptick in price when they report better than expected quarterly results.

There's a what, another what, and a third what, but no real "why". Yes, the lockup period ended, but plenty of company's stock prices have been just fine after lockup periods expired.

Once the lockup period expires many people have to sell a ton of shares to cover the taxes they have to pay on all the shares they just received. Say you make a few million on Twitter stock because you joined 3 years ago. Unless you've got a million bucks cash sitting around you're gonna have to sell some shares to afford the taxes. The combination of everyone doing this at the same time is the "why".

Why Twitter, Inc. Shares Tanked Today
Let's see: maybe it should have never gotten so expensive and some people awoke up? Tens of billions of dollars is a lot of money and maybe, just maybe, Twitter isn't worth that much. If it was, professional investors would have snapped the shares employees sold.
Maybe I'm old school, but a billion is a lot of money. Now imagine tens of billions.
