By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena

I recently joined Twitter. Not because I am curious what this celebrity has to say about her kids, or to read that another one is waiting for a connecting flight, impatiently. Twitter allows me to follow news and commentary sources such as Dow Jones' Marketwatch, Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal. It assists me in keeping up with what is happening across the globe, while I am observing and analysing financial markets myself.

While I am on Twitter, reading a quote here and a news flash there, I offer my own succint insights and commentary. Those amongst you who have already discovered the virtues of a Twitter account can add my Tweets to their daily news via @filapek.

For those who have no intention to join Twitter, but would like to stay up to date, below are my Tweets from the week past:

– On Wall Street, it's weaker USD against weaker data. USD wins, for now. Companies issuing profit warnings (a la Gap) is not positive

– I will be presenting in June in Hobart and in Sydney – Rudi Unplugged – http://tinyurl.com/3o6ze6v

– A new, unique service for investors who conduct their own research into Australian Equities – The Icarus Signal – http://bit.ly/ioanw4

– Keep perspective: "side-ways market" doesn't mean no movement. Volatility will remain among us, but markets are still trending sideways

– Australia "corrected" first. Is value support about to kick in? AUD and US VIX suggest investors are not losing underlying confidence – yet?

– Recent price action tells the story: Iluka ((ILU)) remains a standout among resources stocks with zircon and TiO2 markets extremely tight

– I will be presenting at ASX Investment Hour in Sydney tomorrow May 17 – Stocks That Consistently Beat the Market http://bit.ly/kRKezr

– A timely warning for value investors worldwide, from GMO's Jeremy Grantham: http://scr.bi/mNDIPN
