I 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 succinct 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:

- Don't shoot the messenger, but... ahem, ahem... Today is the 13th, and it's a Friday too, and it's 2013... #enoughsaid

- It's been more than 2 months since we last saw more oversold S&P 500 stocks than overbought S&P 500 stocks. $SPY

- Noteworthy: Goldman Sachs happy to stay Underweight Fortescue (#FMG) post China visit. Supply growing faster, steel mills feeling more pain

- Goldman Sachs sees risk to US growth to upside in 2014. Lower fuel prices to underpin consumer spending, plus gvt less of a drag #investing

- CIMB names 2014 Year Of Great Rotation: global and domestic cyclicals to lead the charge, safe yield plays to be left behind #equities

- CIBC predicts global growth poised to surprise to upside in 2014. 4% not exceptional by historical standards, but good enough to surprise

- Saint Nicholas, also known as Santa Claus, died on December 6th, 346.

- Noteworthy: #BHP shares are threatening to end 2013 with negative return, even including for dividend payout. Fingers crossed Santa rally?
