jack dorsey and evan williams. >> there was a birthday party and i forced them both to come.ng is, they are so similar. they are both quiet, soft-spoken, speak when spoken to types. and without me in the middle, it would just be like, two guys. >> who will play you guys in the tv show? [laughter] geez, i have no idea. i do not even know if that'll be a thing. who knows? it could be a cartoon. >> a cartoon about twitter sounders played by a dog. something -- well, i would never watch that. all right, it is not a cartoon but we will show you some very interesting animals, like a kangaroo, coming up. on "lunchmoney." ♪ ♪ >> available on your iphone, we are streaming live at bloomberg.com. we are all over the place. this is "lunch money." i'm matt miller in for adam johnson. today's video is the picture that is the story. investigators believe they are closing in on the malaysia airlines jet. search crews have picked up signals consistent with those emitted from the plane's black box flight recorder. australian officials heading up the search efforts and said they are optimistic

the nonsellers that were announced, evan williams and jack dorsey, they control 4% of the company. the key venture capitalist 5.4%. let's add these together. 20.2% of the stock. 20.2. you also have to believe that these four shareholders are powerful enough to intimidate other holders into not selling. that means the short position in twitter is now way too big for the float on any good news. like acceleration sales maybe or something that's a distinct possibilities. the way the stock traded lead lots of people to believe we were experiencing a twitter-lead rally. a new leader that was the biggest decliner and down 30% for the year and suddenly enough is enough. i think we saw enough of this enough is enough rallies just the past week. so i can't be saying it here even after today's bullish action. however, yesterday's move felt like it had a bit of news associated with it's leader and the possibility that interest rates might have troughed. let's go back to the 1:02:00 p.m. bott 1:02:00 p.m. bottom in the market. they were just banking down. someone sell, sell, sell, sell that end
