Twitter started the day strong, with everything green, until midday when the numbers began to go south. By lunch hour, the stocks were trading at $15, 0.07% better off than the previous closing mark. By the end of business at 4:00PM, the price had dropped to 14.99, ending the day in the drop zone.
Twitter can no longer hide its grey hair; according to experts. Attempts to monetize tweeting have backfired, with new users not being able to stick around for long. It runs the risk of becoming just another messaging app, struggling to make money just like its other counterparts in the market.

Wall Street is in frenzy over Snap’s stocks, with the 13 companies that helped Snap through its March IPO finally being able to legally research and comment on its stock price today. Unsurprisingly most were “buy” ratings, however there were a few “hold” ratings. The early morning saw Snap receive six “buy” ratings from industry analysts, driving the stock price up by 4.75% to close at $23.83
Industry experts, however, are warning against giving too much credit to the social media company, whose business development skills remain unproven. Wall Street, however is on high alert, with the company’s outside investors still not being able to vote, a lagging new-user growth and increasing losses.
