Yesterday’s Stocktoberfest was fantastic.

I had a great time seeing so many old friends in the financial social web space and media business. Of course, there were also so many new faces that just love the community and came to put faces to the name and see some great speakers.

The highlight for me was seeing Ian, the CEO, announce ‘Stockwits Rooms’ which will ship next month:

It will be fun to let passionate traders and investors build and moderate their own real-rime communities (paid or free) around the tickers and topics they love.

More details coming soon.

PS – Scott Seinhardt created this funny clip about a drug called ‘BTFD’ (for sad traders) and convinced me to play the lead.
