🤓The Beginning of the End for Social Media?🤓

Good morning. Is it the beginning of the end for social media? In some ways, perhaps...

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Is it the beginning of the end for social media? In some ways, perhaps. Many of the big players could be swept up in potential antitrust legislation aimed at breaking up big tech. And, as former President Donald Trump stated in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, social media has taken the place as radio, broadcast television, and even town halls in terms of how many connect for political speech. The points are well-taken, but considering the messenger, it's more likely that, for now, any changes to social media will come from increased regulation of big tech overall. The former president may have been banned from nearly all current social media platforms, but he's already been working on one of his own, as well as maintaining a presence on smaller platforms with a high commitment to the freedom of speech. That's less of an end, and more of a new beginning. Now here's the rest of the news: Sponsored Content Just $19 –That's It. "Hi, my name is Jeff Clark.

Today's TOP TIPS Big Tech Has Unlocked the Secret to Staying Big— Or Even Getting Bigger Historically, most companies focused on one product or service. That eventually saturates the market. Today's tech companies, particularly software ones, are able to break that cycle with new products or better upgrades to existing software. Companies that also pivot to other opportunities can create big value for themselves and shareholders as well. That's why so many of today's big tech names have continued to increase in value, even as some of them have become multi-trillion-dollar companies. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: R.R.
