It’s now been just about a year since I took over from Howard (though his presence in the streams will never die), and happily for me it’s been our best year in StockTwits’ nine year history across all major metrics. I’d love to take credit, but the reality is our success is thanks to you — our incredible community.

As those of you who’ve heard me speak at Stocktoberfests and other events know, I am a relentless believer that StockTwits is a unique and incredible group of people who — together — are empowering a new generation of people to invest on their own.

This is the first of what will be monthly overviews as to what’s going on with the community — and I’ll try to keep it short, sweet, and to the point. So — here’s what happened in June:

We now have 1.1 million registered users, which is a lot. June is typically a slower trading month, so the fact that we set records for daily messages and daily active users (June 21st and June 26th) is fantastic.

The biggest stories last month were $AMZN-$WFM and the $ETHUSD flashcrash (any StockTwits crypto millionaires out there?)

I want to make sure people know about our new beta site — which is launching to production soon, and to call out upcoming AMA’s in July with @Sunshineprofits_Com, @robertlesnicki, and @christopherbrecher

Also, make sure you check out the weekly chart storm from @Callum_Thomas. Every Saturday he touches on 10 charts that you should be paying attention to. This is great content.

Lastly, @scheplick has been killing it on social so don’t forget about our Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat feeds. Especially Instagram has been hilarious lately.

Have a good July, team.

Ian
