For those unfamiliar with StockTwits, it is essentially Twitter for the stock markets. Users specifically tweet about market trends, investment strategies and real-time company specific events. Much like Twitter tracks trending topics, StockTwits uses “cashtags” (ex: $MSFT) to track the most discussed stocks, just like we track Misty May and Kerri Walsh on Twitter.
The most discussed tickers are usually given that designation because they are involved in breaking news, have seen significant changes in stock price, or generating a lot of speculation.
As promised, we looked back in at today’s close.
The Buzz
Research in Motion (RIMM), priceline.com (PCLN), and Spectrum Pharmaceutical (SPPI) were all repeat offenders today, their news did not change between noon and the close, but they still generate significant conversations.
