Does social media affect capital markets? Has the proliferation of internet news and chatter from Twitter had a meaningful affect on the stock market?

“Real tweets have the power to end careers, cause diplomatic tensions, fuel a revolutionand find a kidney”  – Heather Kelly, CNNSooo…Twitter! A social media platform, where most people like to share their thoughts. Others spend time stalking Justin Bieber or causing arguments across the Twitter universe.Nevertheless, with over 302 million users, Twitter is making its own history. It can definitely affect all aspects of life, both online and offline. Twitter became a highly valuable asset for most organisations, from blue chip companies to governments. Businesses realised the importance of using it as their own megaphone to share news & updates with the world. A great tool to be heard!Twitter can also be used as a cardiac monitor of public opinion. The interrelatedness of social media and the real world has been proved many times. A well-timed tweet can either accelerate a company’s PR efforts or send its stocks to hell.A Domino EffectOn the 23d of April 2013, Associated Press’s Twitter account was taken over. Hackers posted a tweet about White House explosions and an injury to the president. Online for only a few minutes, it quickly spread out until Twitter took the AP account offline. It had an overwhelming effect on the stock market. In just 3 minutes, the market lost over $136 billion. (crazy, right?)Another case took place when an Italian journalist created a fake profile of a Russian politician. He then posted a tweet that Bashar al-Assad, president of Syria, is dead. As a result, this led to temporary fluctuations in the oil market.Although these tweets were fake, it shows how you can set Wall Street on fire in less than 140 charactersYou can read more in my blog post - One tweet to rule them all | How Twitter can be used to predict stock market behavior :)
