The wild world of Financial Twitter – or #fintwit as it’s more casually known – walks the line somewhere between goldmine and cesspit. Given the nature of the platform, of course its quality is almost entirely dependent on the accounts of the people who you choose to follow.
Much of the platform is filled with shameless stock pumpers spruiking their own dog ASX or foreign companies (ASIC, where you at?); and it doesn’t help that ton of the best ‘general investing’ accounts are American and put a heavy emphasis on the US markets.
As a result, it’s a bit of a mission to find quality Aussie investing Twitter accounts to follow when you first join the platform.
After sorting through the various spammers & scammers, here’s our list of some of the ‘Best Australian investing Twitter accounts’ that are worth a cheeky follow.
Criteria:
- Tweets at least fairly regularly
- Doesn’t just pump their own holdings over & over again
- Majority focus on the ASX / Aussie markets (some foreign stock chatter is of course fine)
- No shitcoins
- Is either highly informative, OR…
- … funny / entertaining while still focusing on stocks / shares & investing
- Humble / not a bragging douche a bonus
- Per above – if you have a pic of an exotic car in your avatar, you can’t make this list by default
- Lastly: don’t spend half their time ranting about Covid-19 (on either side of the spectrum)
Note that these are not listed in any particular order.
1. ASX (@ASX)
Tweets by ASX
Why?: An obvious place to start. The official Twitter account of the major Aussie stock exchange provides a real-time information dump of market-sensitive info such as new IPO listings, biggest movers of the trading day, and regular articles recapping major events that have happened on the ASX in recent days & throughout the year.
2. Frank Taber (@frankinvesting)
Tweets by frankinvesting
Why?: We already featured Frank in our “Best Aussie Investing YouTubers” list, and his Twitter account offers similar quality. A value-investing focus, with deep, multi-thread breakdowns of stocks within the confines of a Twitter timeline. A mix of Aus + US stocks, no memes; just data and fundamentals-based investing information.
3. Haplo (@HC_Haplo)
Tweets by HC_Haplo
Why?: For those with an interest in mining & resources stocks, this bloke is a fountain of useful information – whether it be his own, or re-Tweeted articles relevant to the mining sector. Based in Perth, and we all know those Western Australians know their rocks when they see them (or see aerial maps of them). Served with a side of EV and battery metals for dessert, as well.
4. Value Downunder (@DownunderValue)
Tweets by DownunderValue
Why?: As you’d expect from the username, one of the handful of value-investing-oriented Twitter peeps focused on the ASX. Continually cranks out solid financial & fundamental data both original & syndicated, with the view to long-term holding for maximum returns. The polar opposite of most of the “day/swing traderbro” community that makes up FinTwit, and stands out all the more as worth a follow because of it. Fires the occasional potshot at shitty, overvalued growth companies – a man after my own heart.
5. Owen Rask (@OwenRask)
Tweets by OwenRask
Why?: Owen is the founder of Rask Australia, an investment advice and education ‘media network’ that covers most aspects of investing oriented around the ASX. He also runs the Australian Investors Podcast (no affiliation to this site) on which he interviews a wide range of figures/personalities from across the Aussie investing community for some additional insight. They cover deep-dives into listed companies, both large and small cap, as well – with both the figures and stats provided to back them up.
6. Ron Shamgar (@RonShamgar)
Tweets by RonShamgar
Why?: An experienced smallcap investor and founder of his own value fund, Ron’s fund has had a strong multi-year run of performance. He boasts a very active Twitter feed with a mix of charts, articles, and individual input on company reports and results – as well as commentary on general market macro sentiment. All this is served with the historical perspective of having been in the investing game a long time.
7. Nick Fabrio (@longhorncapital)
Tweets by Nick Fabrio
Why?: One of the more prolific, prominent & successful Australian intra-day traders who has been doing the deed full-time for several years now. Although he has moved to live in America, he’s Aussie through-and-through and shows remarkable discipline (and an impressive rate of success) that comes from a proven scalp trading method. He’s transparent with his gains, and has a penchant for shorting regardless of company market cap size.
8. Roger Montgomery (@rjmontgomery)
Tweets by rjmontgomery
Why?: Renowned Aussie investor and founded of his namesake investment fund back in 2010, while also having extensive prior experience at a range of prominent investment management firms. His Twitter feed features a mixture of macro commentary on markets as a whole as well as various individual sectors, with links to articles from both his firm and other longer-form investing websites, covering topics of the same quite in-depth.
9. John435 (@GlenGoulds)
Tweets by rjmontgomery
Why?: Curious about getting the ‘lay of the land’ for the prospective resource tenements owned by listed companies on the ASX? This account will show you how they look from a birds-eye view, with custom maps of resource-rich regions throughout Australia, as well as which miner owns what. Handy for those who believe in “nearology” plays if you’re looking to invest in a speccy miner with land located alongside one of the ‘big boys’, for example.
10. Dimitrios63 (@Dimitrios_1963)
Tweets by Dimitrios_1963
Why?: An investor who provides a solid, balanced mixed between fundamentals and charting, with commentary on individual company announcements and commodities performance thrown in. Mostly focused on speculative stocks and small / micro caps; just presented with a bit more information and thought with each tweet rather than mindlessly pumping holdings. A solid all-rounder to follow for those after some TA and FA, without overdosing too much on one or the other.
11. ASX Investor (@ASXInvest)
Tweets by ASX Investor
Why?: Another from our “Best Australian Investing YouTubers” list, ASX Investor has quickly become the beacon for leading interviews with small and mid cap ASX companies. The quantity of content he cranks out is insane, with as-it-happens recaps of ASX activity & volatility, both via his own channel and from the mouths of the executives themselves. His Twitter feed provides a distribution & commentary channel for all of those videos and more in one convenient spot.
11. TheGladiator (@TheGladiator)
Tweets by TheGladiator
Why?: A long-time successful investor oriented around penny stock investing strategy and committing to explorers & early-stage biotechs. Provides these alongside a mix of long-term experience and views on holding for ‘multi-baggers’ as well as seeking out underloved and underrated stocks that aren’t or haven’t yet been pumped. Also offers some sober and sound advice on investing not, in fact, being that easy… and stocks not actually always going up. Also sells his own ‘investing course’ on investing in penny stocks, if you’re into that kind of thing.
12. Bulls N’ Bears with Matt Birney (@BullsNBearsWA)
Tweets by BullsNBearsWA
Why?: Another great source for company executive interviews and various other media profiles on listed companies, who contributes frequently to other Western Australian media outlets as well. The Twitter feed is an excellent source of real-time news for all-things-resources, and also runs a round-up email newsletter that aggregates all of this info together in a comprehensive summary. Add in frequent radio appearances, and this is a multi-purpose feed for anyone interested in ASX small and micro caps.
13. 8020Invest (@8020invest)
Tweets by 8020invest
Why?: The account of Angie Ellis, who manages a private investment fund of the same account name & is a frequent speaker at investing events around Australia. Angie’s feed is a mixture of info on learning about individual stocks, Australian live events for stocks & investing, and general distribution of ASX listed company reports. Handy for keeping up on the calendar of investor events happening around the country (whether in-person or virtual, especially these days as things keep changing on a whim).
14. Pilbara Wanderer (@PilbaraWandy)
Tweets by Pilbara Wanderer
Why?: Another Western Australian with longstanding miner & resources company experience in pursuit of high risk, high return explorers. Provides breakdowns of miner-related releases such as assay results, rock chip samples, assessing NPV, and the like. There’s a smattering of general ASX non-resources companies in here too, with decent levels of insight on these too. Also runs the Facebook ASX Analysis Group. Prone to going off on the occasional rant; which is very Aussie, of course.
15. ASA | Australian Shareholders’ Association (@AustSharesAssoc)
Tweets by AustSharesAssoc
Why?: A useful account to follower for newer investors in particular, the ASA is the largest non-profit shareholder association in the country that aims to educate retail shareholders starting their investing journey. The organisation runs regular events, workshops and seminars to help develop investing skills & general financial knowledge while providing retail investors access to influential figures in the Aussie finance industry. They also do a solid job of advocating for shareholder rights, too.
16. Stockrocker (@Stockrocker_ASX)
Tweets by Stockrocker_ASX
Why?: An account that offers a good mix of charting/candles/TA, speculative plays, humour and general ASX chatter that makes for quality entertainment. More focused on shorter term trading and movements, and almost entirely centered around the small and microcap spaces on the ASX. Frequent updates, often multiple times throughout the trading day.
17. Small Caps (@SmallCapsASX)
Tweets by SmallCapsASX
Why?: The Twitter account of one of the most significant content-generating websites entirely dedicated to the… erm… small caps space on the ASX. Extremely frequent content output, with coverage on ASX companies that the likes of the AFR simply don’t cover. While it’s mining-heavy due to the nature of the ASX/our country as a whole, the site still covers a diverse range of sectors.
18. Gigi Penna (@giginator_)
Tweets by Gigi Penna
Why?: For whatever reason, most female Australian ‘social influencers’ in the investing sphere tend to focus on ETFs, or larger-cap investments. Gigi is one of the rare Aussie female investors on Twitter who instead focuses on the resources microcaps space, sharing a decent cross-section of minerals-centric news & analysis. Runs an investor relations communications business named Caldera House.
19. Andrew Page (@sage_simian)
Tweets by Andrew Page
Why?: Andrew is the founder of Strawman, an Aussie community investing platform that allows people to gather and ‘crowdsource’ investing knowledge. Oriented around a system that ranks holdings according to the popularity among its community, and the ability to follow members who have proven they’ve got solid strategies themselves. Andrew himself also makes the odd appearance on various Aussie investing media.
20. Thrillhouse (@ThrillhouseCap)
Tweets by Thrillhouse
Why?: A full-time trader on the ASX, this is one to follow if you’re interested in learning about all the quick movements, setups and more that go into trying to make day trading profitable. Stop losses, set ups, moving averages, pullbacks… it’s all here and chronicled pretty openly & transparently with a good amount of explanation and theory behind his moves.
21. Jessica Amir (@JessicaDAmir)
Tweets by Jessica Amir
Why?: Jessica – who works as a strategist for Saxo Markets – has a background in journalism and still makes appearances on investing-centric media shows such as Ausbiz, SBS, ABC News and more. Her feed provides insights on the ASX200, commodities performance & general investing trends, along with the latest episodes of Saxo’s Market Call podcast.
22. Demoniaco (@DemoniacoASX)
Tweets by DemoniacoASX
Why?: Another entrant on our “Best Australian Investing YouTubers” list, Demonaico is another TA-oriented trader who has both an engaging YouTube and Twitter channel that’s a mix of commentary, polls & general looks at the charting of individual ASX stocks. He chronicles topics such as intraday trading results & lookbacks, trade setups, how-to tutorials, and general Australian investing banter. Frequent content, TA with a hint of financials, & a bit of humour thrown in.
23. Gavin Wendt (@MineLifeReport)
Tweets by Gavin Wendt
Why?: Gavin runs Australian mining sector round-up report MineLife, a ‘consolidated bulletin service’ that delivers comprehensive coverage of all the happenings in the ASX resources sector on a regular basis. His Twitter feed unsurprisingly follows a similar theme, largely oriented around commodities pricing trends and global outlooks on specific minerals & metals.
24. 10footinvestor (@10footinvestor)
Tweets by 10footinvestor
Why?: 10footinvestor runs an entertaining investing Twitter feed that walks a good line between humour & actual content. It’s mostly original, text-driven content rather than just re-Tweeting other people’s stuff, which is refreshing. He also has a ‘portfolio’ website with a mix of investing & other written content – infinitenuance.com – which is worth a read as well. Plus, his profile pic is literally a Clifford.
25. Treasurehunter (@ASXTreasurehunt)
Tweets by ASXTreasurehunt
Why?: Another experienced investor in the penny stock mining explorer & resources space, he’s a fountain of commentary on micro and nano-cap ASX companies that play in this end of the market. Lithium, rare earths, oil explorers, and even the off pharma company that slips in are all on the menu here, accompanied by reports, charts, SPP announcements and more. One for those who appreciate an active resources feed.
26. AGRO (@agroasx)
Tweets by AGRO
Why?: One for those who have a keen interest in the EV / battery metals space, and who enjoy nothing better than a piping hot cup of lithium in the morning. A sharer and commenter of articles related to the EV boom, his Twitter feed almost serves as a news distribution service for content that covers most of the companies that deal with lithium on the ASX, combined with a few dashes of macro-economic trends and current affairs thrown in for good measure.
27. Keith Goode (@Eagleresa)
Tweets by Keith Goode
Why?: With a background in geology and mining engineering, Keith has a long background in analysing precious metals – specifically gold – dating back to the 1970’s. He runs the ERA (Eagle Research Advisory) consulting service which provides reports following on-site visits to prospective companies’ tenements. His feed is thus gold-heavy, and provides some excellent and more in-depth breakdowns of both the general trend of gold, and the land survey data itself.
28. Pisces (@PisceanGun)
Tweets by Pisces
Why?: An experienced, value-oriented investor based out of Port Douglas in Queensland; provides a stream of about as “long-form” text content as you can get within the confines of Twitter’s restrictive character limits. Stands apart from the rest simply for being a generator of his own content rather than parroting everyone else’s. Decent general market commentary, and can boast the ‘flex’ factor of having one of the lowest followed/follower ratios out there for bonus Internet points.
29. Coffee Microcaps (@CMicrocaps)
Tweets by Coffee Microcaps
Why?: Founded by Mark Tobin, Coffee Microcaps is a newsletter subscription service oriented around documenting the goings-on in the Aussie micro-cap space in general, without a specific focus on one individual sector. It also provides a space for the executives of microcap ASX companies to present their case to prospective investors via its regular presentations and Q&A’s, and runs events (mostly virtual in the current climate) oriented around both of the above.
30. 10xHunter (@10xHunter)
Tweets by 10xHunter
Why?: An enjoyable account with a good mix of humour / commentary / implementing and demonstrating his own “10x” strategy – the ‘art’ of aiming for the fabled “10-bagger” (a stock that returns 1000%). Runs a website at 10xhunter.com in which he both outlines his thesis on how to invest in high risk/reward stocks, as well as detailed Due Diligence / breakdowns on some of his holdings, with a level of detail that we appreciate ourselves.
31. Stan (@StanH2443)
Tweets by Stan
Why?: Something of a guru in the ASX charting / TA world, his feed is a highly interesting chart-based look at both Australia’s various indexes & ETFs, as well as specific stocks. He provides solid justification for his principles and moves in order to trade profitably, including factors such as liquidity, resistance and support levels, entry and exit points, and all the other goodies of the TA trade.
32. Microcap Jesus (@Saintly96)
Tweets by Microcap Jesus
Why?: One of our favourite “funny” ASX feeds, with a good sense of humour and healthy dose of memes without going too far off the rails. There’s a tendency with accounts like this to go too overboard, but he also provides a decent bit of ‘serious’ commentary on individual stocks on both the large and small cap ends of the spectrum. Plus, remember: nobody fucks with the Jesus.
33. Financial Review (@FinancialReview)
Tweets by Financial Review
Why?: The official feed of Australia’s largest finance and economics oriented newspaper, the AFR – love it or hate it – has the power to influence thought on a pretty outsized level. We named it one of our “10 Most Useful Tools for Australian Investors” pretty much for that fact alone, as the influence articles covered in it can have on specific stocks is not insignificant. The only negative thing about the AFR’s Twitter feed is that it auto-posts too much damn content that can clog up your feed a bit.
34. A-Z Trader (@theAZtrader)
Tweets by A-Z Trader
Why?: Another great feed with a good blend of comedy and actual info, with a very “tells-it-like-it-is” approach when it comes to the highs and lows of ASX investing. Not afraid to give overly-enthusiastic stock pumpers a dressing-down, as with those who take ‘insults’ against their personal investment holdings personally. Also enjoys a surf, and Aussie as they come.
35. William Langley (@stocksandrocks)
Tweets by William Langley
Why?: What is it with Western Australians and their enjoyable mining-centric accounts? William is another one who certainly qualifies, combining a background in geology with an enthusiasm for ESG investing – combine the two, and and discussion on the likes of green hydrogen, rare earths, EVs and more is inevitable. Plenty of your favourite smallcap miners and prospectors get a bit of shine here, as does the occasional gorgeous WA sunset.
36. BuyLowSellHigh (@BLSHigh)
Tweets by BuyLowSellHigh
Why?: Another experienced chartist, and extremely frequent ‘Tweeter’, BLSH is a high-volume cavalcade of interesting stuff all about investing that ensures your Twitter feed will never be boring having him as a follow, if nothing else. ASX company reports, international share market updates, candle charts and trade opportunities, commodity price movements; if it’s something that’s going to be relevant to almost all Australian shareholders, you’ll likely find it here. Has even been known to throw in the occasional spicy investing meme when relevant.
37. SPEC Capital (@SPECCAPITAL)
Tweets by SPEC Capital
Why?: Solid all-rounder account that contains a lot of investing comedy but also checks the ‘enough serious info provided’ marks well enough as well. Has been known to fire regular potshots at pump-filled investing forum Hotcopper on a regular basis, which always scores bonus points with us. Memes, charts, commentary on Aussie investing commentary itself… what more could you want from the highbrow media platform that is Twitter?
38. MarketIndex.com.au (@MarketIndexAU)
Tweets by MarketIndex.com.au
Why?: The official Twitter accounts of one of our favourite Aussie investing tools/websites in general, MarketIndex’s Twitter feed provides plenty of no-nonsense updates on everything from new ASX listings, to end of day index recaps, and all things in-between. Of particular note is their ‘Daily Morning Wrap’ which – much like everything else on their website – is presented in a clean and comprehensive format that sums up all the major movements overnight in the US, commodities & more that are likely to impact ASX trading the following day.
39. ASX Monkey (@AsxMonkey)
Tweets by ASX Monkey
Why?: All-purpose ASX discussion account that’s not afraid to push the boundaries and ruffle some feathers, and puts out content for a good amount of engagement with followers rather than just passively spruiking articles & or specific (held) stocks info. Good mix of commentary on individual ASX sectors, sharing of witty/viral headlines, and general macro-economic trends and goings-on.
40. Anonymous Trader (@Anonymo21140362)
Tweets by Anonymous Trader
Why?: A Brisbane-based investor/trader mostly concerned with the small/micro-cap space, across a variety of sectors (and not just mining, as many of these tend to be). Solid investing meme game, and while they have the odd spot of ‘real life’ stuff, it’s never enough to dilute the feed from its core topic. Provides some good commentary on newly-released company reports, and links to associated media articles concerning these & general ASX goings-on.
41. Arrow Investor (@ArrowInvestor)
Tweets by Arrow Investor
Why?: Individual investor based out of Melbourne who also refreshingly gives some attention/mentions to larger-cap stocks, and not just the minnows of the micro-cap ASX pond. This includes companies which are actually, you know, making a profit rather than just pure pipedreams and speculative bets that tend to clog up most of ‘investing social media’. A spot of humour too, just to ensure things don’t get a little too serious.
42. Justin K (@Justin_K000)
Tweets by Justin K
Why?: Balancing the use of charts, fundamentals, and actual longer-term holds all in one feed. Largely commodities and minerals focused (it’s the ASX, after all), and provides a nice semi-regular dose of skepticism and realism amongst the landscape of investing social media pumpers. In essence: nice & balanced/neutral and makes for a solid follow.
43. E Camp (@ECamp1234)
Tweets by E Camp
Why?: The combination of Aussie + woman + investing Tweeter is already relatively rare, but the combo of Aussie + woman + investing Tweeter + bullish on uranium is likely unique. A frequent sharer of uranium-centric ASX content for those fellow believers in the future of yellow cake, while focusing on general commodities, gold, and “alternative energy” minerals as a whole. Both the large + small cap end of town are covered with relatively equal frequency.
44. ASX small caps (@ASX_small_caps)
Tweets by ASX small caps
Why?: Extremely frequent re-sharer of smallcap-centric content to the point that the account acts as a ‘consolidated news feed’ of small caps news from around all the major media outlets who cover them on the ASX. Serves as an ‘aggregator’ of multiple of the major feeds/channels all in one, and is basically the Twitter equivalent of the good old-fashioned RSS feed that people used to (and some still do) subscribe to.
45. Sydney Trader (@sydney_trader)
Tweets by Sydney Trader
Why?: Intra-day trader based in Sydney (surprise), who also runs a YouTube channel breaking the action on individual stocks and analysing their daily charts and overall longer-term trends. Also runs live streams for the same purpose, in which people can ask questions and generally interact to assist in learning about trading patterns and macro breakdowns, with viewers able to request a look at individual stocks. A good level of interactivity on both the Twitter feed & the video-based version as a result.
46. Stockhead (@StockheadAU)
Tweets by Stockhead
Why?: One of the most prolific stock-news-specific content sites in Australia, Stockhead pumps out a truly massive volume of content articles perday covering what’s happening around the Aussie markets & to specific stocks. It’s a commendable volume of coverage, and while some of the articles are essentially regurgitation ASX of company announcements (gotta pay those bills somehow, right?), there’s still plenty of good macro-level investing features to round things out. Their regular Closing Bell ’roundup’ feature is particularly handy.
47. Stock Swami (@stockswami)
Tweets by Stock Swami
Why?: In such a pump-centric space as the often-shady world of online investing, who is it who polices the pumpers? Well, it’s supposed to be ASIC’s job of course (😅), but the closest thing ASX Twitter has to a ‘people’s militia’ is this feed right here. It’s a pretty refreshing reminder that there’s a lot of not-so-squeaky-clean company operators and spruikers out there, and having a place that provides actual counterpoints to all the mindless optimism and PR-speak while attempting to hold dodginess of all kinds accountable is an admirable effort… and one that undoubtedly doesn’t “pay” monetarily, which makes it all the more so.
48. Proactive Australia (@proactive_au)
Tweets by Proactive Australia
Why?: Another highly prolific publisher of ASX-centric content, what sets Proactive apart in our books are their company “Deep Dive” snapshots that give fairly compehensive summaries of where listed companies are at without being too wordy or overwhelming. They extract key info into a concise and easy-to-read format, and clean up a lot of the ‘clunkiness’ contained within the often-awkward formatting of recent company news and announcements.
49. Ozzie_ASX (@ozziesap)
Tweets by Ozzie_ASX
Why?: With a mix of a value investing approach and a focus on clean energy holdings, Ozzie provides an upbeat mix of sector-specific and general market commentary, highlighting key takeaways extracted from company news. Admits when/if he makes investing mistakes, which is pretty rare in this space, while admittedly bullish on nearly anything related to the battery metals revolution – with a little bit of tech mixed in for good measure.
50. AussieInvestors (@AusInvestorBlog)
Tweets by AussieInvestors
Why?: Alright, if you’ve made it this far then you’re both very patient/bored, and surely you’ve found our content useful enough to give us a follow on the ol’ Twitter, right? We aim for being neutral/objective and mixing both serious ASX stocks chatter and humour. We don’t pump or hype stocks, and like to blend together mostly value investing with a small smattering of growth companies thrown in to keep things a little spicy. You could say we aim to be… perfectly balanced, as all things should be. 💘
