The Top 10 Financial Tweets For Friday, July 26

There are millions of tweets written every day. Benzinga sifts through the maelstrom of information to find the ten best tweets of the day that are either informative, insightful, or just down right comical.

1. Reuters Business

Reuters Business (@ReutersBiz) tweeted an article about UBS's UBS settlement with Fannie Mae FNMA and Freddie Mac FMCC. UBS has agreed to pay a whopping $885 million to settle claims.

2. Benzinga

Call it a shameless plug if you will, but Benzinga (@Benzinga) tweeted out the upgrade of Tesla TSLA at Deustche Bank. They also raised the price target to $160.

3. Bloomberg Surveillance

The iconic Bloomberg morning program Bloomberg Surveillance (@bsurveillance) hosted by the legendary Tom Keene (@tomkeene) tweeted its daily twitter question of the day. However, this one hit close to home as it brings up the issues in Detroit in the same sentence as the perils at SAC Capital.

4. David Tweed
