I'm sorry but I don't see how anyone can even consider buying twitter at this point. It stopped making progress... As a social media tool its growth has completely stagnated, most people are more more interested in snapchat, instagram , whatsapp and facebook. Twitter is nothing more than a place to get live news which many other companies can replicate and do better. Twitter will continue to stagnate and go backwards as less and less people use it . The fact is that it just isn't a very valuable tool. As for innovations - I basically can't think of any improvements and I use it every day. I do miss the discover button though, no idea why they had to get rid of it. Also, there's more competition for Twitter and instagram (and any other social media stuff like those). In fact all the major social media stocks are the same things with only subtle difference. This is why you should tread carefully with Twitter if you're invested in it. It can get very dangerous. I for one not going to hold a falling knife. There are good leaders in this country but they don't have the money it takes to run for office. If this is all we have in both parties we are in big trouble. Also TWTR needs to come up with some good news soon or will tank even lower.
First of all, I dont know how Noto, the CFO with a small amount of time at the company would be able to tank TWTR with the board and CEO watching and they having been there since TWTR's birth a decade ago, but let's go with it.
Scenario 1: Dorsey/Noto does an amazing turnaround and makes billions more on his shares, and becomes an internet CEO legend. Worth billions of dollars and can be CEO for life if he chooses.
Scenario 2: Dorsey/Noto tanks the stock so he can lose hundreds of millions of dollars in a sale to some other giant company who then likely wont need or want him around for more than a year. So loses hundreds of millions and no job.
Twitter is still the future though. it's just hard for people to see it. Great technology powers this company. The business always falls into place with all those smart people. Evidence of that is Facebook. I am sure Twitter will succeed in the long run even though I still consider shorting it.
