Investors capitalize on trends thanks to fast-moving social media

Few people would associate Twitter with the stock market. Yet, the blue bird can be an effective tool to access news, research companies and follow trends.

Tweeters can follow accounts of financial institutions, analysts and other stock market professionals to get real-time updates and insights about the market. Additionally, Twitter is a great platform for investors to interact with one another and discuss potential stock opportunities.

That is the enthusiastic assessment of Dan Willis. A digital marketing consultant for over 15 years, he also teaches people about the stock market through his videos and live streams.

Along with digital marketing expert Madalyn Sklar, Willis talked about how he uses Twitter as a free stock market tool.
