Social Media Stocks may offer some stability!

By Steven Friley





The Social Media Stock Market



There is a new wave of investors just on the dawn of an economic revolution: The Young Innovative Collective Mind we call the Social Network. Despite negative mud slinging by the bigger investment firms, LinkedIn (LNKD) has remained a good solid investment. Stunning the investment community, LinkedIn has shown the world that the Social Network is here to stay and there is one prevailing reason this is so: Over 1 Billion People ENJOY Social Media while utilizing the ability to connect with the world to expand their career and business.


Social Media Stocks may continue to provide stable options: Popping the Bubble of Doubt



The (.com Bubble) is a word I hear often. I would like to explore the bubble of which I am hearing so much about. First of all, as an evolving society and increasingly shifting group of innovative leaders, we must be able to ebb and flow with the new wave of technology to thrive. Many of my business consulting clients find that the shift in  how we do business has caused emotional grief in some instances because the changes are happening so fast. Business that are not prepared for the Web 2.0 Business Office will be left behind as those who believe in riding the wave of the future, are using every possible tool in their arsenal to increase business growth.


Success is a Mindset. An innovative investor, business owner, or venture capitalist will know that in order to thrive in this floundering economy, leaders must be able to believe that innovation is inevitable. Toss the idea of a .com bubble, because the bubble is now a GLOBAL GLADIATOR! We are the Social Network and we are 1 Billion Strong.
There are several reasons why it may be (just may be) a great opportunity for New Investors, Venture Capitalists and Larger Investment firms to consider the inclusion of Social Media Stocks into the portfolio:
  • Social Media connects the world at a pace never before seen.
  • Literally Billions of people are using the internet to shop for everything (Products and Services)
  • Traditional methods of communication will eventually shift to the electronic and virtual arena
  • Social Media Companies such as LinkedIn provide an answer to the illusory failing economy by allowing the average, middle class citizen to expand their hopes and dreams, find a career and connect with the right people.
  • Larger Social Media outlets such as Facebook, connect families, provide businesses a HUGE contact prospect base, and assist the average “Joe” in developing greater communication skills.
Take a listen to what Bloomberg has to say about the new wave.
