Twitter.com and the Stock Market

It looks like some people are using twitter.com to talk about their stock trades, and to promote stocks.

I still feel like I am on the outside looking in on a great business with lots of people making money, but I just haven't figured out how to open the door and get in there.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5081 - I have been looking around for some way to get notified faster of twitter updates faster, I have no idea what this addon will do but I am going to try it.

Other notes about twitter.com

http://twitter.com/stockchaser - got something on my RSS feed that said these guys have almost 9000 people following their twitter account.

not sure if stock twits is associated with twitter or not?

Looking for news on "CHINA" ran across this site and they guy looks very interesting, this is what I found:

Short 15k $CHINA 2.38 for daytrade. Day 3 of big run, and news today not as good as it appears. Stop 2.55.
Ticker: CHINA

searching on stocktwits and noticed this guy making money on "CHINA" today

http://twitter.com/johnwelshphd - this is a link to his twiter account.

update July 27, 2009: today John entered an order to sell CHINA before Timothy Sykes gave his alert to sell, John's twit was closer to the top, I just didn't see it until much later. John also got out at the bottom of the day for a nice profit, I think on this one John's trade was much better.

http://twitter.com/reapertrades - this guy is a bit of a jerk, but I thought I might look at what he is putting out on twitter and see if it was better than his blog.
