The New Wave of Investing!

The Social Media Stock Market!


By Steven Friley





I have been following  LinkedIn (lnkd) a social media companysince May 18th, 2011, in what has been a floundering stock market. LinkedIn had continued to sustain a price above $63 a share through this uncertainty. Social Media Stocks would seem to be the new opportunities in an uncertain market.

Social Media is a commodity of people. LinkedIn was the first of its kind, but diffidently it won't be the last. With Facebook and Zinga preparing to launch their IPO's sometime in the near future, which will change the landscape of The Stock Market as we know it.

LinkedIn has shown  growth in both numbers and members sense it's explosive entrance on to the stock market, and how can that not continue, you look at the numbers.

LinkedIn has raised 93 million in recent weeks with Reid Hoffman founder and chairman, holding on to all of his almost 19  million shares, what does he know that we don't? Why is LinkedIn doubling it's headquarters?


Could LinkedIn and Monster merge? To rival any job seeking company in the world, only time will tell, but growth seems to be the name of the game.
