Facebook ‘most valuable company ever’

My expectations of Facebook shares is they will rise after the IPO in the short term. Ie. they will trade above what fundamentals will suggest due to sheer demand of people wanting to own a slice of Facebook. Medium term I'm not so confident as Facebook has to prove itself. Longterm if it can monetize it's assets then yes it could grow to a $200billion plus company however that is a speculative trade at this point. I'm more bullish on stocks like Apple and Google which represent far better Read more [...]

When is a budget really a budget? – Jamie McIntyre

If everyone created budgets like our current Government, we'd all be in a bit of financial bother. You know, the sort of bother where the money runs out before the month runs out!

Well Read more [...]

Time is running out to buy into US Property by Jamie McIntyre

We are seeing further price growth and more competition in the US property market confirming that, in key markets, we are seeing the bottom of the US Property market with growth starting to occur.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Read more [...]
