very nice chart building
looking for the big break out
;O)
TWTR taking out HOD this afternoon?
SunTrust upgrades Twitter (TWTR) to buy from neutral on an attractive valuation and several pending positive catalysts. Among them is a likely announcement by Labor Day of a new management structure that it thinks will include co-founder Jack Dorsey as the new CEO (he's now interim CEO). SunTrust also expects several moves targeted at boosting revenue like a Doubleclick partnership, eCommerce initiatives including ads with buy buttons and video ads that it estimates could boost sales by 15% in 2017. Another important growth driver will be TWTR's integration into Google (GOOGL) search which could add several million monthly active users. TWTR is up 4.6% at $28.08 , still off 43% over the last year
TWTR $38 upgrade
has a very powerful upper gap at $33.35 area, from there it rips to $38 and the 200 MA is $39.47, very rapid rise to $50 on that 200 MA power break
;O)
"someone like Carl Icahn should come in and buy TWTR and shske this company up"
"I am a buyer of TWTR"
TWTR doing real nice, good continuation, will we be a GOOGLENATION
the number 35 keeps running through my head
;O)
Did 1 Billion People Really Use Facebook In 24 Hours?
2 hours ago
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/did-1-billion-people-really-003353984.html
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a message on Thursday to promote the company's newest milestone.
"For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day," Zuckerberg wrote. "On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family. When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different. This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it's just the beginning of connecting the whole world."
Investors didn't seem to notice (the stock was up less than 1 percent as of 5:30 p.m. ET), but Zuckerberg's followers sure did, providing thousands of shares and "Likes" regarding the news. Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry was a bit skeptical of the numbers. He does not believe this level of engagement could be achieved by Facebook alone.
"I would take it with a grain of salt," Chowdhry told Benzinga. "I don't think we are seeing the whole picture. I will not believe that [Facebook] had one billion on the same day. I think this statement is lacking some details."
Chowdhry said if the announcement had specified that this includes Instagram and WhatsApp, he would have believed the reported milestone.
"Engagement levels on Facebook, especially on desktop, [are] declining," said Chowdhry. "On mobile, Instagram and WhatsApp are growing at a faster rate and Facebook is declining. So I won't believe what he says at face value."
Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, told Benzinga that he thinks Facebook's milestone is sustainable "but only with the additions of WhatsApp and Instagram."
"WhatsApp caters to emerging regions and Instagram caters to kids and millennials, the populations to either not use Facebook.com or are looking for the next, new brand and experience," Moorhead told Benzinga.
Instagram And WhatsApp Quietly Included?
Sean Udall, CIO of Quantum Trading Strategies and author of The TechStrat Report, argued that Facebook is including WhatsApp and Instagram when it makes these kinds of announcements.
"They're including all that," Udall told Benzinga. "Just like when they talk about MAUs -- they don't talk about Facebook MAUs [alone], they talk about MAUs because trey bought Instagram and WhatsApp and it pumped up its MAUs."
Udall said this is different from Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR), which may not combine Periscope and other services with its overall MAU number.
"I don't think [Facebook's announcement] is that meaningful," said Udall. "It's not that big of a surprise. They've got a lot of users. That comment adds no additional information that we don't already know. Is Facebook becoming more interesting to use? No. Is it becoming a better platform for all the stuff that Twitter's really good at? I don't think so."
Bigger Picture Ideas
While Facebook users may obsess over the latest milestone, Udall said there is a more interesting story investors should follow. He said that Splunk Inc (NASDAQ: SPLK) has inked a seven-figure order with a social media company in the second quarter.
"To me this is very interesting," said Udall. "I'm not saying Splunk hasn't done deals with Google, Facebook and Twitter already. I'd be surprised if they're not already using Splunk. But the fact that it's a seven-figure deal -- with a social media company -- is very interesting."
He added that if investors think about social media and the properties that lend themselves to big data number crunching, "Twitter would seem more likely because that is their business model."
"It is a big data company underneath the hood," said Udall, adding that there is an 80 percent chance the deal is with Twitter and a 20 percent chance the deal is with Facebook.

Toucan, watching CNBC hype the market pull back... Funny they didnt comment several several weeks ago as all the indexes were topped
Did you see TWTR AH and PM hitting $26.45 to slide with the market all day to close lower, however higher highs higher lows prevailed
You could virtually put any stock symbol to one chart and it would look the same
Now bring us that new TWTR CEO placement or better yet, a buy out with the new man ready to take the helm, which is what I feel might be comng, not just a power CEO, but a power Company with a hand picked man
You and I see it the same way...
