Twitter: Mid Day Downgrade - FAKE accounts - Fraudulent business practices

Twitter Needs to Grapple With Fake Accounts -- Market Talk
Dec 30 at 15:11

      15:11 EST - Analyst Trip Chowdhry at Global Equities Research starts
coverage of Twitter (TWTR) at equal-weight with 12-18 month target at $60,
saying " negatives outweigh the positives." TWTR's analytics platform, which
Chowdhry says makes up about 10% of revenue, "if executed well, has good future
revenue potential." However, "there are too many fake accounts and there are too
many fraudulent business practices [by businesses outside Twitter] such as
'Buying the Followers' which severely undermine the credibility and
authenticity" of the Twitter platform, and could hinder ad monetization,
Chowdhry says. TWTR off 2.1% at $62.39. (john.shipman@wsj.com)

Staple stocks good insurance for a downswing, Barron's says

Staple stocks such as Wal-Mart (WMT), Procter & Gamble (PG), and Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola could rise 20% or more in 2014, Barron's contends

 After two years of relative underperformance, Coca-Cola's (KO) stock could

Twitter Downgraded: 'Nothing Has Changed...to
Justify the Rise in Valuation' -- WSJ Blog
Dec 27 at 10:20


      (This story was published by The Wall Street Journal Online's MoneyBeat
blog at http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/)
      By Steven Russolillo
      Twitter Inc.'s high-flying stock has gone too far, too fast.
      That view comes courtesy of Macquarie Equities Research, which cut its
rating on the microblogging site Friday morning to underperform from neutral,
while maintaining its $46 price target.
      The catalyst for the firm's downgrade is simple: Twitter hasn't done
anything to justify nearly tripling since last month's IPO.
      "We believe nothing has changed the fundamentals to justify the sharp rise
in shares over the past few weeks," Macquarie analyst Ben Schachter wrote to
clients, while adding that the one-page research note may be "among the shortest
downgrade notes you've ever read."

Small Float, Shorts Seen Helping Fuel Twitter - WSJ

Small Float, Shorts Seen Helping Fuel Twitter -- Market Talk
Dec 24 at 07:36
Profile hits: NONE

      7:36 EST - As Twitter (TWTR) shares increasingly defy Wunderlich's bearish
stance on the company's valuation, the investment bank admits, "It appears
valuation metrics are irrelevant and that investors are betting aggressively on
Twitter being the next great media-technology platform." Shares have more than
doubled from the $26 IPO price last month, including a 55% pop in December
that's include six 5%-plus daily climbs and only 5 down days. Wunderlich says
TWTR's small float (just 11% of fully diluted shares are currently tradeable)
and 22% of that float being held short as of Black Friday "is creating a
significant leveraging effect" on the stock. All told, "$5.2B of public
investor capital" is supporting TWTR's $46B market cap.

Guess who made Barron's? Full Cover Story

Flashback Note: I can remember the glory days back in the late 80's, when Stratton Oakmont was considered by many in my home town (Massapequa Park N.Y.) to be the premiere place to work and prosper at. Hanging around FOXES night club watching 23 yr old college dropouts pull in in brand new Porches, Lotus Esprit's, Rovers etc - 55 ft sea-ray's at Conscious Point, South Hampton with models and bottles falling off the bow...I recall it well as was one of the few in my crowd who didn't register.  I suspect I may have been considered one of the coat-tailers, but I tagged along invited and partied with the rest of them in disbelief.

Looking back now 25 years later very few of them are still in the industry, and not by choice. I estimate 90% had arbitration that led to being barred from trading US Securities. 

The few I know still registered are some of the most talented brokers I know (couldn't trade their way out of a paper bag) but they could sell an Eskimo an Igloo all day long. 

In a recent interview, Jordan Belfort the CEO played by Leo DiCaprio, Boasts he brainwashed the brokers that "lying was their fiduciary duty"...The one credit I can give him is that he brought Steve Madden Shoes public, which still currently trades and is the only company they brought public that didn't go belly up. (Madden spent a chunk of time in jail as well for his shenanigans) Currently Belfort has only made 10 million of 100 million in restitution owed...Tim_K


Good Film, Extremely Bad Wolf -- Barron's
Dec 21 at 00:09

By Farran Smith Nehme

      (FROM BARRON'S 12/23/13)
      Director Martin Scorsese has spent a sizable chunk of his career exploring
the world of gangsters, from Mean Streets to Goodfellas to Casino to Gangs of
New York to The Departed. And he has found the perfect man to extend his
gangster chronicle in Jordan Belfort, the charismatic penny-stock swindler
behind Stratton Oakmont and the central figure in Scorsese's new film, "The Wolf
of Wall Street." After a sizzling seven-year run, Stratton Oakmont imploded in
the 1990s, costing investors more than $300 million.

Facebook Looks to Capitalize on S&P 500 Inclusion -- WSJ Blog

Facebook Looks to Capitalize on S&P 500 Inclusion -- WSJ Blog
Dec 19 at 10:28

      (This story was published by The Wall Street Journal Online's MoneyBeat
blog at http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/)
      By Matt Jarzemsky
      Facebook Inc. and the insiders selling in the company's stock offering
Friday are seizing on the the social-media firm's inclusion in the S&P 500 stock
index.
      Earlier this month, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that Facebook would
join the S&P 500, the benchmark gauge for U.S. stocks, effective after Friday's
close. As a result, index-tracking funds that follow the S&P 500 will need to
buy Facebook's shares at that time.
      The company along with CEO Mark Zuckerberg and director Marc Andreessen
are offering shares "primarily to index funds whose portfolios are primarily
based on stocks included in the S&P 500 index," according to a prospectus for
the deal.

Facebook Launches First Secondary Offering - WSJ

Facebook Launches First Secondary Offering -- Market Talk
Dec 19 at 06:32
Profile hits: NONE

      6:32 EST - Not as if Facebook (FB) is cash poor, but it's selling 27M
Class A shares while CEO Mark Zuckerberg will offer 41.4M, largely "to satisfy
taxes that he will incur upon the receipt of" 60M shares of Class B shares from
exercising options. His personal voting power will drop to 56% from 59% after
the sale, which also includes venture capitalist and board member Marc
Andreessen selling 36% of his stake. Zuckerberg's voting power will also be
curbed fractionally more after an 18M-share stock gift he intends to make this
month. But he remains by proxy in control of another 6.9% of FB shares, which
will drop to 6.7% after the sale--coming after the stock has doubled since July
following an inauspicious first year. FB falls 3.1% premarket to $53.86.
