How much is a tweet worth?

From Dan Diamond in today’s Politico Pulse:

CLINTON TWEETS; THE MARKET MOVES — Hillary Clinton criticized Valeant’s high drug prices on Thursday, and the company’s stock price fell 9 percent — coincidentally or not. “This is predatory pricing. It is unjustified. It is wrong,” Clinton wrote on Twitter, linking to a campaign blog post excoriating Valeant’s price hikes.

File also under “The politics and PR of drug pricing.” I told you this was a thing.
