10 Best Finance Tweets of the Month: July

On July 1, SEC filings presented a gift to business tweeters everywhere: a prospectus for the first-ever Bitcoin ETF, to be launched by none other than Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss of Facebook fame.

In midmonth, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before a congressional committee that the Fed planned to be flexible on tapering off its bond purchases. And by the end of the month, the Twitteratti were speculating on Bernanke’s replacement.

Meanwhile, PIMCO's Bill Gross talked Twinkies, and a few of ThinkAdvisor’s top influencers got into an exchange about how a Google Images copyright case went terribly wrong.

Here are the 10 best finance tweets of the month:

Gross: #Twinkies are back on Monday & bonds are too - with a longer shelf life than last April. Stock 5-10 yr. maturities in your pantry.

#Bernanke claiming that the U.S. economy needs highly accommodative monetary policy is like a bartender saying a drunk needs more alcohol.

#Bernanke as #DirtyHarry: "Investors are asking if I'll taper. Ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?" http://t.co/zpjq6qeYdh

Why is the lack of policy differences between Summers and Yellen part of the case for Summers? This is how we get back to sexism.
