What Howard Said at Le Web

Howard Lindzon gave a great presentation about StockTwits, entrepreneurship, and opportunities in finance at the Le Web conference held in Paris a few weeks ago. I agree wholeheartedly with Lindzon’s view that many vertical niches in the financial space are untapped. Lindzon delivered great advice to entrepreneurs wanting to exploit them. He concluded his presentation by emphasizing the importance of finding market "slivers," attacking them, and remaining focused on the simple stuff.

Google the following terms and you will get an idea of what Howard means by "slivers":

• Stock Twitter
• Minimalist trading
• Traders and creative flow

Yes, they are tiny today (StockTwits, not so tiny). However, tiny in a market that is globally connected could be big and very profitable, especially if this wealth creation trend persists.

This is the time to claim your stake!

Happy Holidays!
