Twitter Outperforms Facebook During First Week Of Trading

Twitter Inc, (TWTR) made its much publicised initial public offering on November 7, 2013, almost eighteen months after rival social networking giant Facebook Inc, (FB) launched its IPO in May 2012. Twitter’s IPO attracted a huge amount of public and market attention, with shares expected to open much higher than the firm’s listed opening price of $26 (which would give it a minimum market valuation of $13.6bn).

Expectations were high and traders weren’t disappointed, with the company closing the first day of trading 73% higher at $44.9 – a far cry from Facebook’s performance on the first day of launch.

How have City Index clients traded both Twitter and Facebook during their first week as public companies. Were City Index clients more bullish with Twitter than Facebook?
