busybeeburns Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Twitter in stock market confusion as investors mistake it for bankrupt company Twitter in stock market confusion as investors mistake it for bankrupt company Twitter's plans to list on the stock market under the name TWTR caused confusion among investors on Friday (October 4), as a bankrupt company soared by over 1,800%. The social network wants to raise $1bn (£619m) in its stock market debut, under the symbol TWTR. However, Boston-based electronics retailer Tweeter Home Entertainment - whose stock name is TWTRQ - received heavy backing after investors mistook it for Twitter. Twitter isn't expected to go public until November, but that didn't stop backers from getting confused and investing in the wrong stock, which was halted at 12.42pm ET. TWTRQ's annual low this year was $0.0004, but its current price is at $0.105. Twitter, meanwhile, is thought to be leaning towards a listing on the New York Stock Exchange. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/news/a521288/twitter-in-stock-market-confusion-as-investors-mistake-it-for-bankrupt-company.html?rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matter-Eater Lad Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Tech bubble 2.0. And soon to come mini-housing bubble 2.0 and the great bond/equity/government debt bubble. Grab your popcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
