It wasnt just a handful of celebrities. 130 accounts were targeted and it appears to have been an inside job. That is serious stuff. Im not sure that Twitter Twitter is up, thats right. Im thinking of another stock. Okay, twitter is up just a fraction. It is serious stuff about twitter. Weve got an analyst on the show who says it might have been a test run for something much bigger. Time to drop your twitter account . We will ask the question and get an answer. More on that coming up, too. Lets get to the market. This week we have seen a shift away from big tech and towards smaller companies. The russell index of small cap stocks, for example, up 3 this week. The dow industrials, down just over 2 . This morning, we will open with a nice gain for the dow, up maybe 100 points, 26,600. Look at the nasdaq. Theres a bounceback for you, up 100 points at the opening bell. All righ
