Twitter is now listed on the stock market
Technology companies shares have made headlines recently following Twitter now being listed on the stock market. Initially shares were issued at $26 each but the prices have fluctuated greatly over it’s first week with the end figure settling at $43.
Technology shares are attractive to investors because they are currently cheap and have potential for growth prospects. However, caution has been urged for those who are thinking of investing as growth is very uncertain, as with the example of Facebook who since being listed in May 2012 had shares of only $18 after three months.
It is recommended that if buying shares it should be done so through a fund with companies that are “more established” such as Google, Amazon, IBM and Apple. This is because their business models are able to better innovate and generate consistent growth and revenue.
It is remained to be seen whether if the consistent evolution of technology can help tech companies including social media sites produce better shares figures in the future. What are your thoughts?
