Here are the actual facts from Standard & Poors ... I posted this over 24 hours ago ...

For those of you that own TWTR, here is the reason for your sell off today:

The following is a press release from Standard & Poor's :

-- U.S. Internet company Twitter Inc. issued $1.8 billion in convertible notes in September.
-- We assess Twitter's business risk profile as "fair," based on our view of the company's high growth potential over the next several years and competitive position in social networking.
-- We are assigning our unsolicited 'BB-' corporate credit rating to Twitter and our unsolicited 'BB-' issue-level and '3' recovery ratings to the company's convertible notes.
-- The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Twitter will continue to experience very strong growth and not encounter a significant increase in competitive pressure.


CHICAGO ( Standard & Poor's ) Nov. 13, 2014 -- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that it assigned its unsolicited 'BB-' corporate credit rating to San Francisco -based social networking company Twitter Inc. The outlook is
stable. At the same time, we assigned our unsolicited 'BB-' issue-level rating and unsolicited '3' recovery rating to the company's $1.8 billion convertible notes, which comprise $900 million 0.25% convertible notes due 2019 and $900 million 1% convertible notes due 2021. The '3' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%) of principal for debtholders in the event of a payment default.

Twitter will use proceeds from debt issuance for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and operating needs. As of Sept. 30, 2014 , the company had about $3.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The $3.6 billion included net proceeds from the convertible notes
offering.

"The unsolicited 'BB-' corporate credit rating incorporates our assumption of healthy growth in monthly active users and revenues, the possibility of positive discretionary cash flow in 2016, and ongoing minimal debt leverage," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Liu . The company is investing very
aggressively in growth. Depending on the level of business reinvestment, Twitter may not generate positive discretionary cash flow until 2016.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Twitter will continue to experience very strong growth and not encounter a significant increase in competitive pressure," said Mr. Liu. We expect the company to experience very high growth over the next two to three years as it expands internationally and grows revenue as well as to maintain meaningful cash balances to offset
negative discretionary cash flow and offset volatility. We do not expect it to pursue shareholder return activities such as share buybacks and dividends.

We could raise the rating if Twitter broadens its revenue sources through international expansion and new product launches, maintains its market position, continues to improve its profitability, and achieves positive and sustained discretionary cash flow in excess of $100 million in 2016.

We could lower the rating if Twitter is unable to achieve positive
discretionary cash flow and if there is a marked deceleration in revenue growth or if revenue actually contracts. This could indicate that the business model may be facing significant risks, which could cause us to revise our "fair" business risk profile assessment. A sizable acquisition that significantly depletes the company's cash balances could also result in a downgrade.
