Stocktwits is an online platform that provides real-time conversations and investor sentiment about stocks and other financial assets. It facilitates discussions about market trends, price predictions, and allows users to customize watchlists, but it does not offer direct investment advice or act as a broker-dealer or investment adviser. The platform aims to aggregate user-generated insights and news to help individual investors make informed decisions. Stocktwits is designed as a social network for investors, providing forums and news tailored to the interests of its users.
