“A Twitter for the Stock Market”

Scott R.
6/2/20

I wouldn't take any direct advice from anyone on this site but it does work very good as a sounding board for ideas. This site could also potentially be used to pump particular stocks up which is a bad thing. However I think it's a great place for traders to get together and exchange ideas without all the political crap that is everywhere else. I am relatively new to the site but so far I am happy. There is a free and a paid version.

“Complete Echo Chamber”

steven r.
12/11/22

Like many here have already stated, simply an echo chamber where an unpopular opinion is tolerated, as long as it's an opinion that can be easily squashed. If you have half a brain, and show them as much, they will find a way to boot you from the site. They simultaneously run a chat forum, and are licensed as a FINRA broker/dealer. Absolute conflict of interest. SEC should be notified of their practices.

99% of the posts there are pumpers, touts, scammers, or just plain nitwits.

There's little to no real information on this site, just a lot of meaningless cheering and booing as mentioned by another review. The suspension system is broken, you can get away with constantly harassing and abusing other members, but if you do random things like voicing some specific opinions, you will get booted.

They encourage pump and dump schemes, and issue violations if you raise concerns about pumpers.
Only parasites thrive in that hostile and scam environment.
You cannot even delete your account. Think about that for a second.
Organized pumpers will report any postings that potentially warn naive retailers.
You are BOUND to LOSE money if you are following pumpers and bashers on that site
99% dimwits on that site are paid pumpers and bashers.

STAY AWAY

Stocktwits is too quick to suspend someone for minor infractions without telling the person what they did wrong. They say, in their email, that they will respond in two to three days to an inquiry about correcting a mistake made so that one can be reinstated but this is a lie. Once you are suspended its permenant and you never hear from them again. Shortly after mentioning how insiders may be manipulating the market I was suspended without explanation. I suspect that if this was the reason why then it makes me wonder if stocktwits is comprised of a bunch of elitist snobs who are using the stocktwits site as a platform for monitoring stock sentiment so insiders can adjust stock prices accordingly. Otherwise why would they suspend me? Bad business practice not responding to email.

Stocktwits may have been created to allow investors to share ideas but the site is inundated by verbose commenters who spout words that, to the novice investors, sound like they might know something about stocks, BUT THEY DON''T. The site is essentially useless. Knowledgeable investors have long since left this site. Overall monitoring of posts on this site is very haphazard.

The website sucks. It's worse than any dial up modem (remember baud rate or something like that) experience I had back in the 90s. Mobile app works ok.

It's mostly a pump/dump site. But sometimes you get these nuggets. And trending stocks might be useful. But jeez they need to fix the web version. It's pathetic!

After a shortseller report, with a lot of valid points I was hit with a barrage of offensive abuse, as well as threats to report me for linking the short seller report after the stock had plummeted. Nothing reportable or against the rules, but blocking and reporting abusive people had no affect and I was suspended... Why? For linking the short seller report. It seems to me just a site full of pump and dumpers and run by pump and dumpers. Their selective enforcement of their own rules makes me wonder if this is an attempt at manipulation that the SEC perhaps should be looking at.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF STOCKTWITS IS THE WORST I EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I AM A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND PERHAPS TOO INTELLIGENT FOR SUCH A DULL BOARD! BUT EVEN WORSE THAN ALL THE IDIOTS POSTING NONSENSE IS THE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SUSPENDED MY ACCOUNT AFTER ANOTHER MEMBER INSULTED ME THAT I $#*! MY SISTER! CRAZY AFTERWARDS THEY SUSPENDED ME BECAUSE I WARNED THE MEMBERS OF A STOCK MAY FALL IN THE NEAR FUTURE! THE STOCKTWITS BOARD IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE A LOT OF TROLLS AND BETRAYERS ARE ON THE PLATFORMS BESIDES THE CRAZY AMOUNT OF ADS! IF YOU BELIEVE ANY OF THESE GUYS ON THE PLATFORM YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY!

The message boards of this website allow users to abuse the report and flag functions in order to silence opponents. Website rules are arbitrarily enforced and users are often banned simply for posting dissenting ideas. Stay away!

The site allows stock manipulation by its favorite alt-right posters who serially violate Stocktwits TOS. People with opposing views have their accounts deleted. Real money is involved, and Stocktwits customer service is in on the game. SEC and feds need to take a look at this company. Consider seizing their customer service emails. I personally sent violations of alt-right abuses that were always ignored. Stocktwits customer service whether in with management, or not, is working with certain Stocktwits accounts. Stocktwits has a digital trail that will make easy for investigators to follow. This company is a fraud. It allows alt-right hate speech, racism, the harassment of serious investors, etc. It allows its favorite alt-right accounts to serially lie about other users. I dare Stocktwits to come after me for what I'm saying. Would look forward to exposing them in a court of law, and it end up being on their dime. Stocktwits is allowing bullies to run their stock pages. As mentioned by another commenter, it is a pro-Russia site. The site allows death to America posts, etc. which give specific threats of violence towards the U.S. Reporting does no good. Stocktwits seldoms, if ever, removes alt-right posts. I would post images of TOS violations, but they are incredibly repulsive. I will save them for the SEC if they respond to my emails.

Tip for consumers:
If you have experienced the same, spread the word.

I saw so much crap during my time on this site. There were so many personal attacks launched against people who didn't share the mainstream beliefs on a particular stock. Threats, racial slurs, foul language and other obscenity, and so much other crap goes on there yet the people behind this vile behavior never seem to get reprimanded in any way. I on the other hand got a permanent ban for expressing my honest view of a stock that wasn't offensive or attacking in any way. Please do yourself a huge favor and don't invest your time on this site. If enough people don't agree with your views they simply ban together to report you and the idiots at Stocktwits aren't smart enough to realize that it's nothing more than a coordinated attack to silence you because you don't share the popular view and they will ban you without merit and without really looking into anything.

Most of the posts are hopium, after many years on the site I have gained very little useful info. Also a lot of immature posts from people that will attack you if you question the company.

If it's not unusual to have to correct some typing error like me it sucks because you can't delete or edit. It must also suck for bad spellers also. One time I ended up with a comment on the wrong page and couldn't remove.

TRCH merged with MMATF to make MMAT and original holders got $mmtlp as a preferred share after the merger. I posted an update article about the preferred shares and got blocked for tagging all of these tickers.

The uneducated Twits and their handicap GIFs are pathetic. However, the site itself allowing a stupid flashing Fidelity advertisement that says nothing and disrupts everything is an indication that the Website itself is run by imbeciles.

I guess people come to stocktwits to complain and bash about their loses. Bunch of FOMO baggolders on stocktwits complaining and crying over their loses with no solution. Overall a negative toxic and waste of time site.

The company Stocktwits does nothing to protect the interest of its members. They only protect fraudsters. On one trade a member named MStuff from Canada pumped a stock up 50% in premarket trading with other pumpers then in an hour it dropped 35% in 3 days it had dropped 50%. The company Stocktwits does not allow you to view your opinions to be posted, if it is contrary to the pumpers. Maybe they are in on it with the pumpers who knows. It might be a huge criminal conspiracy operation at Stocktwits with many pumpers and Stocktwits sharing the profit.

I was recently banned on Stocktwitts, I recently started playing with shares i the U.S market and am new to it, I posted a few times asking for advice etc. and I thought it was a cool website where we the people couple discuss the shares we own. Unfortunately I was caught in a dividend trap with ZIM hshipping and If I could give 0.1 star I would, I wrote on the stocktwitts website not long ago how that I hold hares in ZIM shipping and how they seem to be in great financial shape then I went on to say why I think this. As I have had a few thousand dollars stuck with ZIM since as I have had thousands stuck with ZIM since April Iv'e been doing a lot of reading about what they are upto and I believe the share price will go up inn a big way in the near future, explaing how they their recently had two new ships build and launched, bought 1000 fancy high tech refrigerated cargo containers, and other smart things including converting their ships to run on clean fuels etc. then I'm suddenly banned and I have no idea,why I wrote to them asking why and I got no reply. I imagine like many sites they have appointed idots as moderators of the site and I have become a vicitim of some person who does not like me telling the world about wha t I think will happen with the ZIM share price due to my research as he thinks it could affect his investment possibly? Anyway the site and is admins/mods can go and rott in hell, I thought about rejoining with another of my email address and give them a bit of hell, but life is too short to fight with idiots.

If you use the site for anything other than entertainment you will lose money trying to "follow" fake gurus and experts. The site is one huge echo chamber for pumpers and dumpers to cheer on their position but has no real value when it comes to market investing.
