  • This Company Is the Future of the Job Seeking Business

    By Daniel Cawrey - May 22, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, MWW

    When you think about what people were doing twenty years ago while looking for a job, you'll probably think of newspaper classifieds. Ten years ago, people were using Monster Worldwide (NYSE: MWW). But where will job seekers go in the next ten years? Well, they will probably be on LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD).

    The act of looking for jobs really hasn't changed as we've jumped more »

  • 1 Way Facebook Outperforms LinkedIn

    By Erin McBride - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GRPN, LNKD, YELP

    One year ago the hype around the Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) IPO would have led one to think that this was the stock to retire on. We all know how that bust ended. The stock went down the toilet, and has only bubbled up a few times.

    In spite of Facebook’s notorious IPO, it was not the worst web 2.0 publicly traded debutante. That honor goes to Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPNmore »)

  • This Stock Makes LinkedIn Look Cheap!

    By Brian Nichols - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: LNKD, SCTY

    LinkedIn is by no means a value investment. The company is considered by some to be a great short opportunity, with decelerating growth and a massive valuation compared to fundamentals. Yet despite these facts, LinkedIn does in fact appear to be a value investment, when compared to another high-flying speculative name.

    LinkedIn: Not Cheap By Any Means

  • Billionaire Leon Cooperman: Facebook Is a Value Play

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD

    Billionaire Leon Cooperman appeared on CNBC last week to say that the social networking giant Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) is a value play. He noted that the company's valuation might appear rich with Facebook having "a higher multiple than the kind of things we're normally involved in, but we think there's a lot of wind to their back" (check out Cooperman's high upside picks).

  • The Battle of the Social Networks: Facebook vs. LinkedIn

    By Andrés Cardenal - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD

    Coke vs. Pepsi, Apple vs. Microsoft or American Airlines vs. decent customer service, corporate battles are a big part of global business history. Although it's a much younger rivalry, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) have emerged as the two leading social networks, and they directly compete against each other in areas like online advertising.

    Let's take a look at these two companies from an investor's more »

  • Is Facebook Heading Down the Right Path?

    By Lior Cohen - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD

    The decision of leading social network companies such as Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) to keep finding ways to augment their appearance in mobile is reasonable considering the high growth this sector has had in recent years. But is this the right path for Facebook? Will it be enough to pull the company’s stock up?

    Facebook took several steps in the past couple of years in order to raise its profile more »

  • Groupon Gets Its Mobile Groove On

    By Diane Alter - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GRPN, LNKD

    Many remain skeptical about Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), but many are becoming believers. While I’m not in the latter camp just yet, I am gravitating towards it.

    The daily deals site, which offers the best things to do, see, eat and buy in some 565 cities peppered around the globe, just reported Q1 2013 earnings that impressed Wall Street.

    The Chicago company posted a $0.01 loss per share, but more »

  • 5 Technology Stocks Bubbling Up

    By Cory Colpetzer - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, FB, LNKD, NFLX, Z

    The internet stock bubble of 2000 is a distant memory to most at this point, but there were lessons taught that one can continue to utilize in today's market. First, we must acknowledge that bubbles will always exist. They have, and will continue to rise due to the irrational exuberance of investors chasing the next big thing trying to make big money. This phenomenon has been multiplied in the more »

  • Zillow Is Worth How Much?

    By Mark Holder - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: LNKD, TRIP, Z

    As a leader in the real estate online market place, investors might be shocked that Zillow (NASDAQ: Z) is only worth $1.8 billion. The website has long been a go-to place to review houses for sale and home values, yet the level of revenue and market value might surprise investors. In fact, this investor regularly used the website back before the financial crisis in an era before Facebook and more »

  • Internet IPO Update: Big Growth and Big Potential

    By Austin Higgins - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: LNKD, YELP, Z

    In the last few years there has been an influx of initial public offerings. A lot of these companies are Internet-based and come with a lot of hype and high valuations. These three companies all posted first-quarter earnings in the beginning of May. Here is what investors can expect for this year.

    LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) recently posted its quarterly earnings. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.45. This more »

  • LinkedIn Is a Smoke and Mirrors Illusion

    By Erin McBride - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: DHX, LNKD, MWW

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) is a smoke and mirrors illusion. Buyer beware.

    LinkedIn's stock took a hit last week after the online professional networking service forecast called for a slowdown in future quarters while the company beefs up its infrastructure (hires more workers, invests in data centers and makes changes to online ads).

    The ding came in spite of more »

  • Facebook and LinkedIn Can Both Co-Exist Without Google+

    By Alexander Cho - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD

    LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) reported a fairly strong quarter in terms of revenue and earnings. The outlook the company’s management team gave was a bit of a let-down, but then again, the company may be lowering expectations in an attempt to surprise shareholders with an out-sized earnings beat.

    Earnings highlight

    The company’s recent earnings announcement was for the most part a tremendous success. The company reported $22.6 million more »

  • Is the LinkedIn Bubble About to Pop?

    By Evan Buck - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: BBRY, FB, LNKD

    Shares of the professional business social network LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) have jumped 73% so far in 2013, but took a wallop after the company reported its first quarter 2013 sales numbers. LinkedIn was able to far exceed analyst expectations and posted very strong growth, but investors seem to be focusing on LinkedIn’s less-than-bullish outlook for the second quarter of 2013. The conflicting ideas of LinkedIn’s current success and more »

    By RJ Towner - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD

  • Is Facebook a Buy Now?

    By Anh HOANG - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, YELP

    Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has extremely valuable private data assets. Each time we update our information and status, post our pictures, tag our friends on Facebook, we give our information to the company, for free. Facebook actually owns our data, and whenever we post anything, it would stay there forever. Previously, many investors were quite skeptical about Facebook’s ability to monetize its data. Recently, Facebook has shown investors that it more »

    By Daniel James - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, MWW

    Social media websites have been a trending topic in investing circles over the last few years, as this relatively new medium has firmly established itself in most people’s social and professional life.

  • Should You Buy This Stock After Its Recent Drop?

    By Ishfaque Faruk - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, MWW

    Despite strong growth on the top-line as well as the bottom-line, professional networking site LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) saw its stock plummet. A large portion of the company's expected growth was already factored into the share price.

    Management's weak guidance for Q2 2013 along with concerns about the firm’s ability to earn revenue from advertising sparked the sell-off. However, LinkedIn can gain a much stronger foothold in the more »

  • Facebook's Fading Fortunes

    By Daniel Cawrey - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GM, LNKD, ZNGA

    Facebook’s (NASDAQ: FB) stock price seems to have leveled off in the past few months, staying in the mid-$20 range. Investors seem uncertain about the company’s business prospects after the stock went into free fall last year, following the initial public offering. After bottoming out in the fall of last year, the price recovered, but has been in a holding pattern since February.

  • Is it Time to Buy LinkedIn?

    By Leo Sun - May 5, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, MWW

    Shares of job search network LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) recently plunged, after the Mountain View, Calif.-based company followed up strong first quarter earnings with lackluster quarterly and full-year guidance. Ever since its May 2011 IPO, LinkedIn has been walking a fundamental tightrope. Bears have long claimed that the company’s sky-high valuations were unsustainable, while bulls believed that its growth potential justified the premium. Now the moment of truth has more »

  • Can Growth Translate Into Profits at LinkedIn?

    By Ishfaque Faruk - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, MWW

    With the stock price of LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) up almost 70% year-to-date and a sky high P/E in excess of 1300, one would think that the company is fairly valued, if not overpriced. However, LinkedIn's growth potential remains largely untapped, even with three different revenue streams that separates the company from other Internet business models which are heavily reliant on advertising revenues alone.
