Each day we jump into the StockTwits stream and pull out the morning greatness. Here’s what we found today:

@Contrahour lays out the case for a Santa Rally with a chart for the A/D line and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX).  Lots of guys on the stream have been calling for one and @Anni47 takes the other side of that trade:

StockTwits is the place to find the great picks BEFORE the MSM.  A great Tech/Media/Telecom analyst, @TMTanalyst noticed that Barrons was all over his picks, $AMT, $SBAC, and $EQIX, this weekend:

It appears that $YELP has backed out of the $GOOG deal.  Lots of speculation on who else is interested.  Who do you think?

Merger Monday lives on!  Today it was $SNY buying $CHTT:

$GS was out with upgrades on the ags, $POT and $MOS, this morning.  LOVE this comment from @agwarner:

For you charting fiends, make sure you check out the Chart.ly Chart of the Day on $CRM and $GOOG
