MoneyMorning.com Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: I committed the equivalent of financial heresy in late December 2013 and again in January 2015 when I said Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) was a bug in search of a windshield and recommended shorting the stock.

Twitter’s Redemption Earnings Not Enough / Companies / Tech Stocks
Someone in Twitter’s front office is sitting back and watching the company’s stock go up and down, thinking, “Make up your damn mind, Wall Street!” 2015 has already been a wild ride for the social media company. Shares spiked 28.2% in February on the news that the company had a breakout in terms of solving revenue concerns. The stock rode fairly high until April’s earnings report, which once again highlighted the company’s user growth problems. It plummeted 25.5% in a matter of two days. It didn’t help that longtime CEO Dick Costolo resigned midway through the year without any specific plans for the company’s management, giving investors reason to wonder about the future.Read full article...

A Great Overlooked Tech Stock "Disruptor" / Companies / Tech Stocks
MoneyMorning.com Shah Gilani writes: Last week I wrote about my foray into online dating.
But my "hot date" ended up being lukewarm. That's okay – the great thing about online dating is that it is easy to meet other people.
In fact, this reminded me of my days in the trading pits: If a promising opportunity didn't work out as hoped, you took the loss quickly and moved on – knowing there were lots of other opportunities out there.
