Ten Observations From StockTwits Camp

BellaGeneral Comments, Mike Bellafiore's (Bella's) Blogs2 Comments

On Friday I sat on a panel at StockTwits Camp at the NASDAQ MarketSite to discuss Reading the Tape.  I was joined on the panel by @tickerville, @stevenplace and @howardlindzon.  Here are my ten observations from Friday:

1 ) @stevenplace is GINORMOUS.

2 ) @tickerville is so smooth he could replace Brian Williams on NBC at any moment.

3 ) @howardlindzon has the coolest glasses in the biz.

4 ) @alphatrends is the rock star of the StockTwits Community.

5 ) GMan draws the most interest from the ladies.

6 ) StockTwits engendered months of loyalty from its hosts by bringing in pizza at the afterparty (traders love free pizza!)

7 ) @Nasdaq is an awfully cool venue for an event!

8 ) There are still too many traders who do not have the skills to Read the Tape.

9 ) All involved talked about the grind of trading, the hard work necessary, and asserted success does not come without sacrifice.

10 ) @gregormacdonald said it best about those at the StockTwits Camp afterparty: “looks like a great team to me.”

  1. Now I’m 6’7″, which is a pretty good size, and it probably caught a lot of people off guard.

    But you haven’t met Andy Swan, he’s got 2 inches and about 40 pounds on me. So it’s all relative I suppose.

    Nice to meet all of you out there, thanks for letting me steal your internet saturday.
