Top Finance Twitter Accounts to Follow

Often strolling on the internet is labelled as a distraction and a complete waste of time. But what if every break, every chuckle with a co-worker or every getting-up-from-your-chair offers you valuable insights about your professional world and each and every trend that’s happening around! Would you still call it distraction?

We have gathered 24 profiles from twitter to enable you to catch a glimpse of awesomeness in finance. Finance is not as dull as you think (if you’re new to finance, chuckle). It has analytics, it has humour and it has timely updates from the most influential and important people and institutions of the world.

How would you perceive this? Let’s say you are being offered all the updates of the world just in the breaks? You don’t need to pay anything. You don’t need to read any books. You don’t need to buy any costly materials (though you always can)! You will open your twitter account and will check updates from the list we’re providing below. Will that help? If you are a student of finance or an ardent professional, you will be addicted to this list in no time. Just give it a week. And let the magic of twitter rubs off on you.

Do you want the magic or still feeling anxious about distraction?

Try absorption instead.
