On Friday I sat on a panel at StockTwits Camp at the NASDAQ MarketSite to discuss Reading the Tape. \u00a0I was joined on the\u00a0panel\u00a0by @tickerville, @stevenplace and @howardlindzon. \u00a0Here are my ten observations from Friday:<\/p>\n

1 ) @stevenplace is GINORMOUS.<\/p>\n

2 ) @tickerville is so smooth he could replace Brian Williams on NBC at any moment.<\/p>\n

3 ) @howardlindzon has the coolest glasses in the biz.<\/p>\n

4 ) @alphatrends is the rock star of the StockTwits Community.<\/p>\n

5 ) GMan draws the most interest from the ladies.<\/p>\n

6 ) StockTwits\u00a0engendered\u00a0months of loyalty from its hosts by bringing in pizza at the afterparty (traders love free pizza!)<\/p>\n

7 ) @Nasdaq is an awfully cool venue for an event!<\/p>\n

8 ) There are still too many traders who do not have the skills to Read the Tape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9 ) All involved talked about the grind of trading, the hard work necessary, and asserted success does not come without sacrifice.<\/p>\n

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