Twitter (TWTR) Crashes on 2Q'15 Results and Guidance

Twitter (TWTR) had a gap open this morning (02015.07.29). Sadly, it was a down gap of 11%. Yesterday's close: $36.54; today's open: $32.54. TWTR hit a new 52-week low of $31.30 shortly after today's open.

Interestingly, yesterday the start of the 5:00pm local Fox News displayed a bunch of tweets about the first female to become a NFL coach. The newscasters read the tweets. I joked to my wife: All they're doing is reading tweets to us. Look at all the tweets on the TV screen. Why has Twitter stock been such a bad investment?

I can't predict the next femto-second, so I'm not going to predict when the first trillion dollar company happens.
