Best Twitter Feeds to Follow for Stock/Market News?

Any suggestions? I'm already reading seekingalpha and have a subscription to the WSJ - looking for some good resources through Twitter as well (someone had suggested it in an earlier post)

 

@carney (the only decent cnbc tweeter) @thearizonatimes (fx trader and joke writer, wso lurker) @tftmkts (macro) @zerohedge (the world is ending hilariously) @Convertbond (good smart feed) @JamesGRickards (currency wars bro) @ReformedBroker (josh brown is funny) @EddieBraverman (he tweets about cereal mostly) @clusterstock (business insider feed) @TestosteronePit (solid dude) @thestalwart (punctual) @KeithMcCullough (runs hedgeeye, time stamps everything, yale thing) @Not_Jim_Cramer (funny market follower) @rcwhalen (housing and mortgage news)

a bunch more, i generally hate company or news feeds, usually to slow and a bore to read.

Its not high profile but I really like following @hftblackbox, its great if your interested in high frequency trading news, technology, and hedge funds. Other than that I follow the major b schools, CFR, Alt Assets, the IMF/World Bank/UN, FT world news, deal book, and a handful of PE/VC and IB firms

I follow Keith McCullough, he seems legit...

Baby you're the perfect shape, baby you're the perfect weight. Treat me like my birthday, I want it this way and I want it that way. It makes a man feel good baby.
 

Don't follow that many anons because they end up retweeting a bunch of crap (which you can fix but still troubling). I would say follow your general news sources but stay close to your friends man. Twitter is basically like sending a mass one way text message to everyone. It's more fun than Facebook ever was.

 

Here are a few of my favorite finance-related twitter feeds, who all happen to be journalists.

@jbarro Business Insider @TheStalwart, Business Insider @darrenrovell ESPN/ABC News @ReformedBroker CNBC

And here are four general accounts that I believe are must-follows for political and social commentary (mix of high and low brow) @samir @buzzfeedandrew @nycsouthpaw @pourmecoffee

 

Yes, I use twitter exclusively for news, have never "tweeted." I follow a myriad of financial institutions (the major banks, hedge funds, and PEs have twitter feeds) and news sources (ex. marketwatch, bloomberg, CNBC, Reuters, etc...). It's nice when you are bored in class, but often these are just snippets of day-to-day filler news that can clog your mind when what you should really be reading about are the major headlines in the WSJ, FT, and Economist.

 

How do you use that to stay up to date with all that stuff? I pretty much know NOTHING about Twitter, I always thought it was something for people to update their status on. Are there ways to get it to deliver news, events, sports scores, etc.?

 

You follow people or new sources. It is sort of a hybrid between RSS and google reader. I have some friends on mine, but mostly info sources. CME, both my schools, couple friends, NYT, WSJ, some VC firms, TMT Analyst, whatever. Gives you a running feed of current and interesting stuff.
