How to trade Twitter (TWTR) CFDs

There are two ways for individual traders to trade Twitter (TWTR) stocks. The first is to purchase company stocks directly on the listed exchange. You can buy shares of Twitter Inc. on the New York Stock Exchange. The purchase means that you actually own the shares of the company. This is considered a long-term investment because traders usually hold long-term positions waiting for the stock price to rise.

Another way is to trade Contracts for Difference (CFD), speculating on price differences without actually owning them. A contract for difference is a financial instrument. It is an agreement between a broker and an investor. One party agrees to pay the other party the difference between the opening and closing positions of an asset when the agreement expires. You can choose to take a long position (speculate that the price will rise) or short (speculate that the price will fall). This is a short-term investment or transaction, because CFDs are an alternative to stock trading and usually hold positions for a short period of time.

The biggest difference between long positions (contracts for difference trading) and direct purchases of securities (listed exchanges) is the leverage used. CFDs are margin trading, which means that traders can use limited funds to open larger positions.

Twitter company history

Twitter started when founder and CEO Jack Dorsey first had the idea of ​​starting a company in 2006 as a sideline. In the beginning, Twitter was designed as a messaging platform, where people can learn about the latest developments through public messaging and other methods. After making this proposal to the company he was working for at the time, Dorsey was approved and continued further project development.

At the 2007 South by Southwest (SXSW) conference, Twitter usage tripled. The total number of tweets on the day of the event exceeded 60,000, which was the beginning of Twitter’s fame.

Twitter conducted an initial public offering (IPO) in November 2013. The stock price was $26. The closing price of the day was $44.90, an increase of 72% and an intraday high of $50.09.

There is no doubt that Twitter’s biggest competitor is the social networking giant Facebook. With more than 2 billion monthly users, the company is one of the world’s largest companies by market capitalization, and it is also an industry pioneer that countless social networks cannot match.

Although Snapchat is a multimedia mobile application that has nothing to do with social networks, it is still one of Twitter’s main competitors, with more than 166 million daily active users.

Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, acquired in 2012. Facebook is a computer-based and mobile-based picture and video sharing platform. Since the company went online in 2010, it has been well received and loved by users. As of the summer of 2017, Facebook has a total of more than 700 million users, which makes it enough to become a strong competitor to Twitter.
