De hecho, el índice ha subido ahora un enorme 15% en solo seis meses del año, lo que se traduce en $5.5T adicionales en capitalización de mercado. En este momento están sucediendo muchas cosas para las acciones estadounidenses, con cosas como el aumento de las ganancias corporativas, el enfriamiento de la inflación y un próximo ciclo de flexibilización de la Reserva Federal, así como una volatilidad del mercado históricamente baja, un probable aterrizaje suave y, por supuesto, el notable repunte de la IA. Después de meses de luchar para mantener su negocio en funcionamiento, Fisker (OTC:FSRN) se acogió al Capítulo 11 de la ley de bancarrotas.

Earnings season began this week with mixed results. And if there are two companies that tell the story of these times, they are Snapchat (SNAP) and Schlumberger (SLB). Snapchat you surely know. Once the darling of young people sending ephemera to each other during lockdown, it is now little more than a glorified penny stock sent reeling from its soaring pandemic-era valuation. A dreadful year for tech, social media most of all, and another dreadful earnings call to mark its passing. Schlumberger on the other hand sounds like a retail outlet for elderly European equestrians. It is in fact an Oil company. And its star is on the rise. The so-called Great Rotation, from overvalued Tech to undervalued Commodity companies, continues. Which begs a recurring question of this podcast? Are we entering the Last Great Age of Oil? A final shortage that will send commodity prices soaring and with it the profits of the fallen Oil Giants? Or will a recession wipe demand off the board? For the purposes of investing, does it even make sense to chase the rally in Oil, or has the opportunity already passed?
Snapchat (SNAP) is the latest company during this unofficial recession to announce steep layoffs. The most interesting victim is the Snapchat Originals show and what this means for the other social media companies that try to be "Hollywood." Evelyn also shares what she's been watching lately.

U.S. stock futures changed overnight, coming off a positive week for the major averages, as traders brace for the busiest week of corporate earnings, as well as insights into further interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. There are still more earnings to come this week as the market prepared for the results. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slid 45 points, or 0.14%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.11% and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 0.01%, respectively. On Friday, the major averages fell on the back of weaker-than-expected earnings from Snapchat ($SNAP) that sent tech shares tumbling. The Dow lost 137.61 points, or 0.43%. The S&P 500 declined 0.93% to 3,961.63, while the Nasdaq Composite traded 1.87% lower at 11,834.11. The World Health Organization has activated its highest alert level for the growing monkeypox outbreak, declaring the virus a public health emergency of international concern. The rare designation means the WHO now views the outbreak as a significant enough threat to global health that a coordinated international response is needed to prevent the virus from spreading further and potentially escalating into a pandemic. Convenience store chain 7-Eleven has cut roughly 880 corporate jobs in the United States. This is a trend that we are starting to see in the market as more companies begin to restructure and cut costs to prepare for a rough economic future ahead.

The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Jeremy Liew is a Partner @ Lightspeed Venture Partners, one of the leading firms of the last decade with a portfolio including the likes of Affirm, Snapchat (Snap), Mulesoft, Epic Games, Carta and more amazing companies. As for Jeremy, in the past he has led deals and sat on the boards of Snap, Affirm, Blockchain.com and The Honest Company to name a few. Before Lightspeed, Jeremy was with AOL, first as SVP of corporate development and chief of staff to the CEO, and then as general manager of Netscape. Due to his incredible investing success, Jeremy has been featured on the Forbes Midas List multiple times. In Today’s Episode We Dissect The Snapchat Memo: I. How Jeremey first learned of Snapchat How Jeremy Liew first heard about Evan Spiegel and Snapchat? "It's actually kind of a roundabout story. We first heard about Snapchat, because one of my partners Barry Eggers is a very involved dad. And he noticed that his daughter had started taking weird selfies" What was the process to first get in touch with Evan? "The challenge was, the website only had info at Snapchat email address was the only info The only contact info available. So I emailed them, and I never heard back. Why was it such a challenge? "I then looked up Snapchat on LinkedIn, and I couldn't find any contact information. And I was in a little bit of a loss, I wasn't getting any responses from the email, there was nothing listed on LinkedIn. So I ended up doing a who is look-up to try to find out who had registered the Snapchat URL, and I got an info@ snapgrouplimited email. So I emailed that. And then as again, I didn't get any response. What was the breakthrough in the end? "....Finally, what I decided to do was since Evan was a student at Stanford, and since I graduated from Stanford for business school, at that time, Facebook allowed you to message people who were in the same network, and Stanford constituted that. So I messaged him through Facebook, and I finally got a response. But this time, I got a response within five minutes." II. The Analysis Of Snapchat's Early Market What are the 4 things Jeremy looks for when making an investment in consumer? Can this become part of pop culture? Does this create new habits? Is there a scalable way to grow? Does the founder have a unique insight that explains the success? Why does Jeremy believe that usage with young females is the biggest predictor of future consumer social success? "Generalising, Women build their relationships through, you know, conversations, and they build those relationships through sharing information with each other. And obviously, that sort of conversation or relationship is a fantastic conduit for word of mouth for anything that people really appreciate." In what ways does Jeremy like to see consumer social companies become part of pop culture? "Today, if you think about whether it be social networking, apps, messaging, e commerce, streaming media, it's all part of pop culture. And so as much as movies or television or music or dance, and so if you ask yourself who are the early adopters of pop culture" What are examples of this? "Social networking, apps, messaging, e commerce, streaming media, it's all part of pop culture." Did the market evolve the way that Jeremy thought it would? "And one of the things that surprised us a little bit was that this was very strong in Southern California, Northern California, and Georgia, when we first invested and parts of the South" What was a surprise to Jeremy Liew in terms of market evolution? "In Norway, which had actually transcended, that sort of high school and college-age population, in fact, become the number three most downloaded app, most popular app, in Norway at that time. So ahead of Instagram, ahead of Facebook, and so forth. And so that's what I think gave us that early indication that the app was going to be able to break out beyond its high school, college student, initial starting point, not just in the US, but everywhere" III. Reflections on Snapchat's Early Traction What did the Snap user to install count look like at the time? "In, you know, March, April of 2012, they had about 90,000, daily active users off of the base of 180,000 installs." How does this compare with many others in the consumer social space? "That's a very, very high ratio." What were Snap's retention numbers at the time? "50% retention after 90 days, which again, suggests high engagement, high retention, high growth that speaks to upside volatility" How did Snap's frequency of usage on an individual basis look like at the time? "So people were opening the app six times per day, they were opening at least once every second day." Across, retention, usage and user to install, what are the benchmarks for great, good and average? " I would say as a rule of thumb, in messaging and social networks, you would want to see at least a DAU to MAU ratio of north of 50%. And you would want to see at least a D 30 of say 30 to 40%, for your for something to really be working to be sort of at that outlier level." IV. The Truth About The Snapchat Founding Team What unique insight does Jeremy believe that Evan always held for the company and the product? "One of the things that was so special about Evan, and that I think, has continued to contribute to the success of the company has been that he's always been able to do that to look at something with fresh eyes, and not iterate over what the current state of the art is that, you know, just from first principles basis" How has Jeremy seen Evan change and evolve as a leader? "I think his maturity as a business leader, as a leader of people, as a manager, you know, as a strategist, although he always had very good strategic instincts, but they've just continued to grow and evolve and blossom." What were some of the big inflection points in his development? "So you know, the feed has always been up until this point, in reverse chronological order, I think largely because that's what friendster do choose to do. And then Evan comes along. He says, How do you tell stories beginning, middle, end. Now go to social media? How do they tell stories in reverse chronological order means and middle beginning? Well, that doesn't make any sense. And so he said, we're going to create a whole new feed of stories, and they're going to be told in chronological order beginning middle end." Who are some unsung heroes from the Snap journey that were transformational? "Bobby doesn't get enough credit. From the very beginning from I think maybe a couple of months in was thinking about the breakthroughs that had been happening computer vision and the implications for what that could build....Imran Khan, he really helps take a lot of the load off of Evan allowed me to focus on product engineering, he took over sales and monetization Ops, he did a lot of the financing work in the time when Snapchat raised a lot of capital."
Snap (#SNAP) announced their Q4 earnings report and beat analyst expectations. The company reported a Non-GAAP EPS of $0.09 (beat by $0.02) and revenue of $911.32M (beat by $56.08M). Although the company beat expectations and increased revenue by +62.5%, shares of #Snap are trading down -7% in post-market hours. The company looks good on growth, but many investors are still skeptical about the company's profit. Snap went public in 2016 and has yet to post a profitable quarter. Should investors buy shares of Snap up an anticipate future growth, or look elsewhere if they want exposure to the tech sector?

In this Part 1/2 on the War on Tiktok, I give a history on the smash-hit short video app TikTok and describe how it has grown so quickly around the world in such a short period of time. TikTok has been dominating the social media landscape, outperforming the giants like Facebook/Instagram (FB), Snapchat (SNAP), and Twitter (TWTR). What makes TikTok so special? Is it merely a Vine clone and will it end up dying like Vine did after it was bought by TWTR? Who stands to benefit if TikTok gets banned or dies? Stay tuned for Part 2/2 of the War on TikTok, I will be explaining why governments want to ban TikTok, how likely it is that TikTok gets banned, and what TikTok and Bytedance is doing to prevent this.

Clerks 3? No. Canon Film Cameras? No. More teens on Facebook? No. Rick Grimes staying on Walking Dead? No. Dave escaping Granny? No. New music? YES! Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohen both leaving "The Walking Dead" during Season 9 Both Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Lauren Cohen (Maggie Rhee) will only be in six episodes each on the ninth season of "The Walking Dead". Lauren Cohen will be starring in ABC's "Whiskey Cavalier" which she signed on to when negotiations had stalled during contract talks over at "The Walking Dead." As for Andrew Lincoln, “Andrew is leaving because he's had enough of it and wants to focus his energy on movies,” an insider close to Lincoln tells Us Weekly. And on top of all this Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon) just signed a $20 Million contract to stay on which leads us to believe he might perhaps be taking over the center stage from Andrew Lincoln. Canon has ended sales for its last film camera Canon has announced that it is officially discontinuing the EOS-1v, its last film camera, as reported by PetaPixel. Production of the EOS-1v — which was launched in 2000 — actually ceased back in 2010, but Canon continued to sell the remaining stock. Although this means Canon is no longer selling any film cameras, it doesn't spell the death of film — at least, not yet. Nikon still sells two film cameras, the F6 and FM10. "Clerks 3" will never happen and here is why! As reported by Slash Film after Clerks 2 hit theaters in 2006, Kevin Smith was interested in making a third entry in the slacker comedy series. But alas, it was not to be. Smith had a script ready to go, and a budget set, but what ultimately killed Clerks 3 was the disinterest of one of the lead actors. During a recent “Fatman on Batman” Q&A, Smith confirmed that Jeff Anderson, who played video store clerk Randall in the series, didn't want to return, which kind of put the final nail in the Clerks coffin. Teens are ditching Facebook A new study has confirmed what we've long expected: Facebook is no longer the most popular social media site among teens ages 13 to 17. The Pew Research Center revealed on Thursday that only 51% of US teens use Facebook. That's a 20% drop since 2015, the last time the firm surveyed teens' social media habits. Now, YouTube is the most popular platform among teens -- about 85% say they use it. Not surprisingly, teens are also active on Instagram (72%) and Snapchat (SNAP) (69%). Meanwhile, Twitter (TWTR) followed at 32%, and Tumblr's popularity (14%) remained the same since the 2015 survey.
In this episode, Avery and Dani talk about what sort of developments are happening today on various social media platforms, and how small businesses might use some of these developments in their business. Key Takeaways: [3:10] Dani discusses some of what is going on in today’s social media. “Dark social” refers to the concept that 80% of all sharing that happens on social media/text/email is hard to get readings on because of how people are sharing the information. Analytics can get tricky to track. [5:40] How does this work with their clients? It is perhaps more imperative for larger companies, but smaller companies (most of Dani’s work) use Google analytics. Now they link the direct traffic back to social sharing and focus more on “clicks” — this inflates analytics. [7:47] What else is going on in the social media world? Instagram stories and Facebook My Day — posting a photo or video that will only be there for 24 hours. Both of these avenues offer a different, more casual way, to share information. [12:02] Facebook My Day is in the Facebook Messenger App and is similar to the idea of Instagram stories, but is only available for profiles, not businesses. Eventually maybe there will be a My Day button for Facebook pages that would allow more access for everyone on Facebook. Avery and Dani also talk about Chatbots and how they are being utilized. [17:25] Avery and Dani talk about Facebook as a staple in social media — it’s undergone many changes, but one of the keys to their success is that they’re always integrating the newest possible technology. [19:04] What do these changes in technology entail for businesses? The more developed technology gives businesses an opportunity for in-the-moment representations of who they are as a company and how they want to present themselves to consumers. [20:07] Discussion about Snapchat (Snap) and some of their recent developments and the evolution of the app. It is a little harder to grow your followers on Snapchat versus some of the other social media platforms. [23:20] Businesses and Snapchat: Dani tends to direct her clients away from Snapchat and focus more on things like Instagram stories. For now, the focus should be on the tools they can use well and the ones that are going to work for them. Dani also speaks to the fact that technology and social media is always changing, and who knows what we’ll be using ten years from now?
