sORRY No, 1 of my goals for 2015 is to try twitter. I am a big gamer, online, thus not scared of online thingies. But have not used twitter or facebook, have no idea how it actually works.

trying twitter out for the first time.... most of the stuff on there is -i quote moonraker: crap, but there are some useful ones that post links to interesting articles. Trying to see if there is a wealth of information over social media that can be accessed in the same way investment clubs are run.

Thanks JDP for those,

@JustOneLap, @BizNewsCOM, and @Fin24 is another three that's potentially useful.... mostly companies well known in the investment circle.. there are some financial reporters and investment gurus' accounts, but then its gets laced with "crap."

Guess only way to is to give it a trial....  :whistle:
