Twitter tanks and becomes fodder for M&A chatter again
Twitter Inc.’s disappointing fourth quarter and confusing comments by its executives about increased usage further confirmed its user growth has stalled, putting the company at the center of takeover chatter again.
Twitter keeps raving about its daily active user growth — so why won’t it share the actual number?
One of the bright spots in Twitter’s fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday was that the platform’s daily active user (DAU) growth is accelerating…
But why isn’t Twitter letting the world see what its actual DAUs are?

Tape Reading the SPY ETF
$SPY price action bursts through new highs as volume increases.
A good sign for a long-term move.
The danger of new longs here remains profit taking. Great traders solve this problem with intra day criteria, specifically–change from the open price. Only look for a new bid if the last price is above the open price.
If you’re swing trading the same rule applies, but you will use Monday’s open price.
