Funniest Financial Tweets of the Week: Top 20

By Christopher Witrak Feb 10, 2012 4:10 pm

Bet you can't guess which European country caught the attention of the financial world this week?



That's right; it's Greece! The painfully slow Greek tragedy in Europe has everyone bored, but it still provides inspiration for great tweets. People also had  fun taking their shots at Clint Eastwood, Nouriel Roubini, and Steve Jobs this week. Knowing that you probably had a better high school G.P.A. than the Apple leader will likely brighten your weekend.

Here are our picks of the week. Share any good tweets below or @Minyanville!
