Bio
Jon Fisher
Jon Fisher is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, adjunct professor and analyst. Fisher co-founded and was Chief Executive Officer of Bharosa, an Oracle Corporation company, which produced the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager. In April 2008, Fisher predicted U.S. unemployment would rise to 9% by April 2009.
Fisher seems to be far too proud of himself in having conjured his "analysis" of housing and employment. I suspect that Robert Shiller and dozens of other economists would find Fisher's claims of having the singular wisdom to have produced this "unique" analysis curious, if not insulting. To my eye, and ear, Fisher's playing the role of "Twitter" in and against his own talks premise. The difference between Fisher's situation and that of Twitter is that I doubt the any of the many economists and market watchers who use, and have long used, the analytical view of data Fisher touts will sue him.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Employment in the U.S. private sector fell by 298,000 in August, according to the ADP employment report released Wednesday.
The drop suggests nonfarm payrolls may sink by more than the 250,000 anticipated by economists ahead of the government's much-anticipated report due out Friday morning.
He posted on blog "is speaking with smart and influential investors betting on a ski jump recession meaning stimulus creates bump leading to precipitous decline." Is he bull or bear?
The U.S. economy is in the early stages of recovery but it will be a while before growth starts to bring down unemployment, a top Federal Reserve official said on Wednesday.
"My forecast envisions a return to positive but subdued gross domestic product growth over the medium term weighed down by significant adjustments to our economy," Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart said in prepared remarks.
Vasil, I think your are confusing revenues and revenue growth with profitability
On contrary, I agree that no matter of the ever-increasing growth both Facebook and Twitter are not profitable just yet. The reason for that is the decision to invest into growth and forget about the profit for now.
My point is that the larger they grow the larger would be their price to sell out to one of the internet giants such as Yahoo or Google etc, unless they would come out with a successful business model on their own.
