In many sectors, Twitter has replaced/is rapidly replacing emails and message boards as the go-to means of communication. This is especially true in biotech. Probably has something to do with the age of many of the movers & shakers.
I almost never Tweet, but I have a Twitter account (free, takes one minute.) Over the past two years I’ve accumulated about 50 people on my Twitter stream (people whom you follow, their Tweets automatically show up when you go to Twitter.) Mainly research scientists, docs, other folks actually working in the field, some very experienced and knowledgeable analysts, etc.
I just eavesdrop! Half of the technical stuff I don’t understand. But when all of them say a drug or a company is legitimate and a good deal, I do additional DD and often I buy. When all of them say something is a scam, I stay away.
Twitter is a fabulous DD resource.
All that is needed to make a happy life is within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius
