Guess who's changing corporations one stock price at a time? Financial bloggers and social media commentators, that's who!

Publicly listed companies are VERY focused on their stock price, and anything that influences it. That's why social media has suddenly caught the attention of executives. 

A recent study found that financial bloggers were THE most influential external influencer for investors – beating out Financial Advisors, TV, Radio, newspapers and other news/opinion sources. THIS IS HUGE!

StockTwits is the fastest growing social network for credible traders and investors who share real-time ideas and information and the “Top 20 Most Influential Financial Bloggers” are using it. Check out the incredible growth of this new social investing network:

• 350% = increase in StockTwits website traffic in past 6 months
• 100,000 = number of StockTwits unique users
• 1 Million = number of messages a month on StockTwits website

Third Tuesday Calgary, in association with the Canadian Investor Relations Institute, is proud to bring StockTwits co-founder Howard Lindzon to Calgary November 17, 2011.
