There are millions of tweets written every day. Benzinga sifts through the maelstrom of information to find the ten best tweets of the day that are either informative, insightful, or just down right comical.

1. Pawel Morski

Pawel Morski (@Pawelmorski) tweeted about the flaring feud between the U.K. and Spain over the island of Gibraltar and what it means for political ties between the two countries. He took a rather comical view of the matter this morning.

Gibraltar is basically Britain successfully trolling Spain.

4. John Carney

CNBC's John Carney (@carney) tweeted out a Bloomberg article about J.P. Morgan (NYSE: JPM).

6. Herb Greenberg

CNBC's Herb Greenberg (@herbgreenberg) tweeted following news of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos purchasing the print business of The Washington Post (NYSE: WPO).

Admiral Road Capital (@AdmiralRoadCap) tweeted some words of wisdom for investors everywhere. They note that, no matter who says they like a stock, any wise investor does his/her own due diligence before purchasing a stock.

One the very best decisions an Investor can make is never purchase a stock based upon what they hear on TV

All turned up on the different stages of the efficient market hypothesis damn
