Social media has quickly become an essential part of our society. These mediums are not only used for personal reasons, but they serve an important purpose in the business world, as a number of companies have taken to these sites to help grow their product. That being said, it can be easy to fall behind the curve on popular sites like Twitter, which utilizes a public update system that allows users to see “tweets” of up to 140 characters from some of their favorite experts [see also Facebook and The Social Media ETF (SOCL)].
When it comes to the importance of Twitter, the ETF industry is no exception. There are a number of people and institutions that can help you stay ahead of the curve when it comes to ETF investing, as their tweets can provide concise but vital information on the industry. Below, we outline five must-follows on Twitter for anyone who considers themselves a part of the ETF industry. Don’t forget to follow me @JaredCummans and ETF Database @ETFdb for up to the minute news on ETFs.
