Best Of The StockTwits Network 7-7-12

Let’s be honest, you could pretty much throw a dart any day of the week at the StockTwits Blog Network, and end up hitting a post that is better than 99% of the other stuff out there that passes as financial blogging.  So to say these are “The Best of….” is a little disingenuous; let’s just say these are some of the posts from the last week that caught my attention and I think will interest you.

I might have gone with “Ganga is Great,” but either way AlphaVN shows us that “da kine” may be the answer to a lot of problems.  “Hemp: A Smokin’ Opportunity?”

This is Bigger shows us “The Best Trading Video Ever” and how the lessons learned from it were applied to a recent trade.

A great curated list of economists to follow, or put in a car and drive over a cliff from StockTwitsU.  “The Ivory Tower List: Economic Professors to Follow.”

The Basis Point breaks down the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report.  “Inside June’s BLS Jobs Report.”

Any post that can combine strippers and the movie “THX-1138″ is okay by me.  “Where Are Your Limitations?” by Altucher Confidential.

Speaking of strippers, Dragonfly Capital reveals a chart that shows why “Real Estate is the Ultimate Tease.”

This post will take you on some unexpected turns in what you’d think is a straightforward answer.  “Are All Veterans ‘Heroes’,” by Points and Figures.

Antonio Esfandiari just won $18 million dollars in the One Drop WSOP poker tournament, where a player actually folded quads.  Does that wash in Kid Dynamite’s World?  Find out in “Let’s Talk Poker! Folding Quads!?”

I’ve said it before, one of the toughest questions in trading is what type of socks to wear. The second toughest is “How to Know When to Sell.”  Crossing Wall Street clues us in…to the selling thing…not the socks.

Playing craps while drinking pure grain alcohol is definitely one of them, or so my “friend” told me.  ”The Three Worst Investment Strategies Ever,” by Rogue Traderette.

I’m doing my part to keep this trend alive.  “Whiskey and Beer Better Long-Term Bets than Wine,” by Sizemore Insights.

When Upside Trader talks, trust me, you want to listen.  “Why I Rarely Short Anymore.”

If you listened to The Stock Sage you would already have 15pts in $AAPL.  “Time to Get Long AAPL for an Earnings Run?”

Hmmm….kinda sounds like a place Satan would work.  Nah, he’d never stoop that low.  “I want you to picture a furnace…” by The Reformed Broker.

Don’t fear the reaper, or the all-time high.  “Three New All-Time Highs to Keep an Eye On,” by Ivanhoff Capital.  More cowbell….
