Twitter is all about following the right people. And for investors, a newsfeed that follows a handful of hedge fund managers could be useful.

1. Carl Icahn - @Carl_C_Icahn

The Chairman of Icahn Enterprises L.P. is not a very active tweeter. Nonetheless, when he does have something to say, it is usually worth reading it. Icahn usually comments on companies he invests in.
