Twitter goes to the exchange

A microblogging service with an audience of 200 million people filed documents with the SEC to obtain permission to trade stocks freely. For the first time in history, an official IPO announcement was made in the form of a tweet .

The secret preparation for the issue of shares became possible due to recent changes in legislation, under which companies are no longer obliged to inform the public about preparations for an IPO, if their annual income does not exceed $ 1 billion. So even the above-mentioned tweet was optional. However, if the company's application is approved, it will be obliged to publish detailed financial documentation.

The appearance on the exchange of another IT-company is always a pleasant event. It’s all the more gratifying that Russian brokers have recently simplified the procedures for buying American stocks for Russians, so everyone can quite easily assemble a bag of Google, Apple or Microsoft shares that they like.

If you are very lucky, even a small investment can bring a serious income. For example, a year ago, a student from Karolina Kyle Conroy made a sign on how much money you would have now, if at one time you did not buy an Apple product, but Apple shares for the same amount.

It turns out that shareholders receive money from the pocket of buyers. Or, as an option, buying a company product, you transfer money from one pocket to another, which is also nice.
