The 6 Most Dedicated Fanbases On StockTwits

StockTwits is used by investors and market professionals alike to keep up with the latest news and trends in the finance world. The communication platform is a catalyst between people, connecting them through common “streams” of information. “These streams provide new forms of insight, ideas and information that are used by investors, analysts, media and others as they research stocks and manage their investments,” the company said.

One of the benefits of the platform is the ability to compile data and form conclusions about the broader market from a centralized interface. This interface provides metrics, technical, monitoring and other workflow tools to this end.

StockTwits recently shared with Benzinga its top message volume stocks as a percentage of total message volume as of Wednesday.
