Market update
Wall Street rallies on labor market data. Dow Jones bounced 1,22%. S&P 500 rocketed 1,24%. The best day for stocks so far in 2014! Technology sector is up 1,39%, but Twitter suffered yesterday. They went in another direction. Not a surprice for the most expensive stock in our universe.
Twitter (TWTR) -24,16%
Twitter stock plummeted yesterday, but I am not suprised. EPS: -1,69. The record high is 74,73 and that price was insane. Now the stock is trading at 50,03. Down -15,94 points only yesterday. It seems like the stock will open up in a red territory today too.
LinkedIn’s (LNKD) site traffic declines. The site traffic fell Q/Q in Q4. Unique visitors dropped by 3M Q/Q to 139M (rose by 23M Y/Y). Page views fell by 1B to 10,6B (rose by 800M Y/Y). User engagement for mobile app traffic aren`t going as planned. Only 25% of the revenue is coming from ads. LinkedIn is less directly dependent on site/app traffic than Twitter and Facebook.

Stocks follow earnings, and if you don`t deliver EPS, you`re not going get any love from the market. This stock will open down about -7% today.
