Oh, My – Spark Capital Raises $425 Million*

www.businessinsider.com Nicholas Carlson 102 days ago

VC firm Spark Capital will close a $425 million fund in two weeks, Lauren Kreutzer Dow Jones is reporting on Twitter. The fund was also oversubscribed, PE reporter Dan Primack adds. That's an incredible amount of money. But then, Spark has had incredible success investing in some very hot startups – from Tumblr to OMGPop to Twitter to newer hits like Warby Parker, Adapt.tv, and Triggit. Correction: An earlier version of this story said Spark raised $425 million in two weeks. The fund is actually closing IN two weeks.

After Doug Kass Tweeted Apple Might Do A Stock Split, He Started Selling His Shares (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 82 days ago

Here's something that will make you feel a little bit queasy. Yesterday, investment manager, and media personality, Doug Kass tweeted a rumor that Apple was going to announce a stock split today. Right around the time he fired off his tweet, Apple's stock was taking off, erasing a loss on the day. Was it because of his tweet? It's hard to say. Stocks move in mysterious ways. We really don't know what was driving the gain. But, the simplest explanation would be that Kass's tweet could have driven the stock. After he set the rumor in motion, and the stock took off, he followed up by saying he wa... Read similar

These Two Charts Show How The Priorities Of US Companies Are Completely Screwed Up

www.businessinsider.com Henry Blodget 169 days ago

If you're looking for answers as to what has gone wrong in the U.S. economy--why so many people are unemployed, why so many Americans barely make enough to live on, why "the 1%" just keeps getting richer--here are two charts for you. 1) Corporate profit margins just hit an all-time high. Companies are making more per dollar of sales than they ever have before. (And some people are still saying that companies are suffering from "too much regulation" and "too many taxes." Maybe little companies are, but big ones certainly aren't). 2) Wages as a percent of the economy are at an all-time low. Thi... Read similar

So Apple ONLY Rallied 31% This Year

www.businessinsider.com Joe Weisenthal 140 days ago

My colleague Sam Ro sums it up perfectly. Apple up 31% this year, the most disappointing 31% gain of all time. — Sam Ro (@bySamRo) December 31, 2012 The stock ended the year with at 532.86, helped by a major 4.57% gain. But of course, the stock peaked this year at 705, so it experienced a huge selloff in the remaining months of the year.

Art Cashin: Apple May Have Become A 'Mini-Index' And That's Why The Stock Is Now Getting Crushed

www.businessinsider.com Joe Weisenthal 112 days ago

UBS floor guy Art Cashin poses a theory for the selloff in Apple that's making the rounds among traders. Basically the idea is that Apple had become such a powerful force in people's portfolios during the last few years, that just the return to normalcy requires ongoing selling. There is also another, less pervasive theory about Apple. It suggests that Apple may have become a kind of mini-index, which is now being unwound. The very heavy correlation among stocks and the indices had forced many active managers to become closet "partial indexers" for survival. They would ... Read similar

Bitcoin Is Now Seeing Massive Hyperdeflation That Could Devastate Its Economy

www.businessinsider.com Joe Weisenthal 49 days ago

The price of a bitcoin -- the uber-buzzy digital currency -- is surging. A few weeks ago it was at $40. This morning the price of a Bitcoin hit $100. It's now over $104, as this pretty chart from Clarkmoody.com shows. All of this is stoking an incredible amount of interest in the currency. The media is obsessed. Businessweek recently wondered whether Bitcoin was the last safehaven. But there's a downside to this. The Bitcoin economy is now in a terrible state of hyperdeflation. You know what Hyperinflation is, it's when prices surge. Hyperdeflation is when prices violently collapse. So a few ... Read similar

CHART OF THE DAY: Turns Out People Aren't Actually Getting Bored With Facebook (FB)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 47 days ago

There is, and probably always will be, a story floating the ether that Facebook is getting smoked by up and coming rivals like SnapChat, Whatsapp, or Twitter. While those services are certainly popular, they're not hurting Facebook, according to comScore data analyzed by J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth. Anmuth notes that Facebook's share of total mobile minutes continues to rise, while share of time spent on those other sites remains relatively flat. Though, as Peter Kafka at All Things D notes, Anmuth isn't looking at demographic data. Most of the concern about Facebook is that it's lost its ... Read similar

Apple CEO Tim Cook is going to appear before Congress next week to talk about its overseas profits, cash, and taxation. Ahead of his appearance, Cook is doing a round of interviews with political reporters to lay the groundwork for what he'll be speaking about.

Yahoo Stock Drops On Revenues Miss (YHOO)

www.businessinsider.com Nicholas Carlson 34 days ago

Yahoo just reported Q1 earnings. It missed revenue expectations badly, and the stock immediately dropped 4%. The main problem is that traffic is down and display advertising revenues went with it. Some thought search, CEO Marissa Mayer's expertise, would bail Yahoo out this quarter. It did not. The numbers: Adjusted EPS: $0.38 versus $0.24 expected. Revenues Ex-TAC: $1.07 billion versus $1.10 billion expected. Display revenues ex-TAC came in at $402 million, an 11% decrease versus the same quarter a year ago. That's below Anmuth's projection of $416 million. Search revenues ex-TAC came i... Read similar

This Chart Of Bitcoins Is Bananas, And It Looks A Lot Like The Price Of Gold

www.businessinsider.com Joe Weisenthal 76 days ago

Here's a crazy chart: The price of Bitcoins (the digital currency). (Via Sara Eisen and @Fullcarry) It kind of resembles a very long-term look at gold. Two quick thoughts: The reason it's interesting to compare gold and bitcoin is that both are kind of seen as alternatives to traditional currencies. Furthermore, it's interesting to see large patterns repeated over smaller scales. Fractal-like. And since Bitcoin should be on digital speed, it's poetic to see the gold pattern repeated over such a shorter period of time. Beyond that, the surging value of the bitcoin is a curse. Nobody wants to... Read similar

Apple's Stock Collapse Is Part Of A Much Bigger Story That's Happening In The Market (AAPL, GOOG, GDX)

Apple's stock continues to fade. It's down another 1.5% today. Part of the story here is well known: Steve Jobs is gone, there's no big blockbuster product on the horizon, and Android is a real threat to the iPhone. But there's a bigger story that's related to the overall market. Mark Dow tweeted this great chart comparing Apple to the gold miners over the last year. Says Dow: Not saying that $GDX (blue line) and $AAPL are similar behavioral phenomena...well, actually, I am. We wrote about something similar a couple of weeks ago. For years during the crisis, Apple was basically an asset class... Read similar

NOMURA: Apple Is Moving Into Its 'Ex-Growth' Phase, And The Stock Could Go As Low As $336 (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Joe Weisenthal 116 days ago

There are sure to be lots of brutal Apple takedowns from Wall Street today. Here's one from Nomura, which declares that the company is now in its "ex-growth" phase, which is very ominous sounding. The weak Q2 dynamics seem to support our view that Apple is moving into an ex-growth phase in which unit growth is likely to come increasingly at the expense of gross margin declines. The net effect is limited earnings growth, EPS that likely tops-out at $50, which is likely to attract a multiple little better than comparable ex-growth peers such as Microsoft and Cisco. An 8x ex-cash multiple on our ... Read similar
