Twitter reported a rise in revenue for the three months to September but the pace of growth in active users was the slowest since it joined the stock market in 2013.

Twitter had 320 million average active monthly users, up from 316 million the previous quarter, below investor hopes.

The social networking site reported revenues of $569m, up 58% from $361m during the same period last year.

The company's shares fell 11% after the results announcement.

Revenues up, active users up, shares down.

    That's wrong. Consider the classic blackjack strategy of increasing bet size when the deck is in your favor. This strategy is used all the time in financial markets. It results is lots of small losses, a few large losses, and a few very large wins.

    The trick here is to make sure the losses are using other people's money, while you get in at the right time with yours for the wins. Just ask any successful trader...
