Do you think that's a positive recommendation? Because it's not clear and I don't.

I think "a tweet from Nassim Taleb" carries more weight than a tweet from some random person off the internet. He does at least understand finance and economics.

I used to follow him on twitter for a while, and I'm not convinced of that.

His first book was a well-thought out contrarian polemic. His tweets struck me as off-the-cuff random contrarian outbursts.
