Part 10 of 10 – The Social Media Stock Market
Well my friends, this is it, Part 10 of 10 in this series on a topic which will change the way we think about, look at and invest in a new wave of stocks called “Social Network Stocks”. Like Jackie Robinson LinkedIn will take a lot of heat for being the first of its kind, but we are making history!
In review, on May 18th, Social Network Company Linked In (lnkd) debuted with its IPO and saw tremendous response by the public sector. Within hours, the value of LinkedIn offerings climbed from $45.00 to $83.00. The market settled a bit with shorts & options coming to the table but ended Friday, June 3, 2011 at $77.00. The news was mixed as reports of a new tech bubble, similar to that of 1999, was imminent, while Social Network voices from around the world cried! We are the Voice of the Social Network! We have discussed a few important variables that may have been overlooked in the early days including (1) the Law of Numbers, LinkedIn reporting over 100 million users and adding 1 per second creating a situation where the numbers prevail despite the news (2) how to have the mindset of expansion and change in a global economy (3) and the impact of the growing Social Media Stock Market. Through the clouds and tweets, confusion and clarity we have come to this conclusion.
We will watch as the MONSTER Social Network Facebook, with over 500 MILLION users prepares to throw the world for a loop. Facebook provides a manner to connect with as many people and/or business as you can look up and research in a day. Players of the game Farmville will have their voice when Zynga introduces IPO later this month (we are told)
Social Media will dominate everything (by nature we after all, are a social people)...Including the Stock Market! Where will you be?
The Social Network is over 1 Billion strong. The voices have formed a single heartbeat.
#1 The Social Network – There is no Bubble! – The Social Network has the backing of the voice of a people who want to be heard. There are many reasons why you should consider educating yourself on investing, learn how to research the companies you invest in, and be a part of the American Dream. Be an Intelligent Investor.
As I conclude this series, I encourage you to use the tools you have available such as “Google” (goog) to propel yourself into a world where you can locate, investigate and understand the world around you. Stock investing is a major decision which should be made with responsible, heartfelt intentions. If you would like to learn more about how to begin investing please comment and let me know.
