It's not just tech--the entire market has been on fire since the Twitter IPO. The S&P has risen 150%.

Doesn't help their user base largely stopped growing in 2015 while their competitors are in the billions.

To put it in perspective, if you invested $10k in TWTR in 2013, I invested $10k in GOOG, and Mary invested $10k in AMZN - you'd have $9k, I'd have $55k, and Mary would have $90k

Those ratios are too close to Jesus's "Parable of the Talents". (A "Talent" was a huge sum of silver in the Biblical / Roman days). One investor brought back 10 Talents, another brought back 5, and one brought back 1.

Probably just a coincidence to to round numbers and such, but it amuses me.
