Facebook Investors Believed Forecast Revenues Would Exceed GDP of the Whole World / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Andrew_Butter
There are two main elements to the litigation about the IPO. The first is about how last-minute-second-thoughts about the future earnings by an analyst should have been widely “shared”. It’s not a strong case, much of the communication was verbal and analysts change their minds all time. Sloppy management, yes…once the prospectus was up everyone should have shut up, but it will be hard to prove wrongdoing.

Is the Generational Divide in Technology Widening? / Companies / Technology
By: Casey_Research
Alex Daley, Casey Research writes:
My son doesn't know how to use a mouse.
He doesn't even know what one is. As far as he's concerned, it's a furry animal he's only seen in books and running around the floor of the Newark airport.
While I've known this for some time, it recently moved from the back of my mind to front and center following a brief car trip a few days ago. From the back seat, my eldest son – who for some inexplicable reason loves to watch the instructions tick by on the screen of the GPS unit sitting on the dashboard – requested that I program the unit to give us directions home. I politely declined, pointing out that I couldn't be messing around with the screen as I was already driving. He followed up with that well-known, youthful naïveté that borders on soul-piercing in its effectiveness to point our shortcomings in ourselves and our world by asking:

Reports of BP Nabucco Pipeline's Death are Exaggerated / Companies / Oil Companies
By: OilPrice_Com
The refining director at BP caused a stir last week in Berlin when he was interpreted as saying the full version of the Nabucco natural gas pipeline was no longer an option for the consortium working in the Shah Deniz natural gas field in Azerbaijan. Wire services had reported that his statements meant Nabucco was effectively dead despite years of political maneuvering. Not so, said the European Commission, and several other players involved in the 2,149-mile project. It makes sexy headlines to sink a $10 billion ship, but there are plenty of reserves to keep Nabucco at least on standby.

My Best Investment Advice - Watch Your Fellow Investors Then Do The Opposite / Companies / Corporate Earnings
By: Charles_Carnevale
In my opinion, the recent selloff in stocks defies commonsense and logic, but in truth and fact it usually does. In other words, it's not uncommon to see investors selling at precisely the time they should be buying and vice versa. Moreover, when investor pessimism is at a high, like it is today, stocks become cheap causing people to panic and sell. Of course, the more people sell the worse it gets and simultaneously the cheaper stocks get.

Why Apple is Too Rich For the Dow Jones Stocks Index / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes:
Assuming the Dow Jones Industrial Average represents the biggest, most influential companies in America, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) easily qualifies.
With its massive market cap, trend-setting products, and global brand recognition, it is easy to argue Apple belongs as much or more than any of the current tech companies in the index.
