    The Long Short - Deep Fundamental Pair Trading

    Is Facebook another Google?

    Mostly agree with you there, except that Friends Reunited and similar social networking sites like mySpace probably went out of fashion because Facebook became so dominant. It's simple internet economics of 'winner takes all' FB needs to find a way to exploit the network information they...
