Facebook Stock: A Permanent Change To The Business Model
Below, we discuss the nuances of Facebook’s ad model compared to other mobile ad players and how we came to predict nearly three years ago that Facebook faced insurmountable issues with its product Audience Network

Even solid cloud companies like Shopify are down more YTD and on a 1-year basis than the highly debated yet leading cryptocurrency.
