The bottom line

A combination of new regulations that allow Twitter to play the field before going primetime via the JOBS Act, a valuation that is realistic given past history with social media IPOs and a revenue plan that has long-term potential make Twitter a legitimately enticing stock. Unlike Facebook, which went big and got burned, Twitter seems to be taking a cue from LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) and displaying a strong revenue program plus a cunning business strategy to drive people to buy the stock. So, if you still have jitters because you bought into the Facebook hype and got burned, rest assured, the tech world learned from that experience and Twitter won’t be making those same mistakes.
