Twitter (and the internet in general) can be a cesspool if you don’t approach it with purpose. Unfortunately most large accounts use negativity, sensationalism, and humor to bring attention to themselves. Once they lure you in, they have nothing of value to offer.
One of the most powerful ways to use Twitter is by curating which thoughts you get exposed to on a daily basis. With a bit of digging, you can find people who share insights and information with a level of depth you can’t find elsewhere.
In this article, we’ll look at 3 lesser known accounts of Twitter that will introduce you to concepts that will improve your ability to grow your portfolio. It’s important not to blindly follow these accounts (or any account). Don’t take a trade just because they posted. The best way to use these accounts is to look at the thoughts and topics they share and do your own research to help you develop your own expertise and strategies.
