Expedia has become the modern way to travel but there are some terrible internet losers. Yahoo is hideous even though it owns a stake in ali baba. Twitter is off 38 for the year. It seems whatever the company tries they just cant grow the darn thing. Its a good core business but maybe for someone else. The individual slices and dices of the web were downright awful in 2015. Yelp is down, it seems like its lost to competitors. Groupon is down 63 , still too early to buy that total dog. Sinking like a stone from 33 down to 24 in only two months. I felt it was mystifying.

The gulf between the winners and losers. These examples will rip your eyes right open. First we had three winners on the web, alphabet, expedia, and facebook. Alphabet, formerly known as google, rejuvenated itself after amazing cfo work at morgan stanley. 2016 will be the year when they really monetize youtube which is worth a heck of a lot more money than it seems. Facebook remains a money machine. Theyre a virtual monopolist on yourself. Only instagram can stop them now, and facebook owns that too.

Lets start with the global level and the most important implication at the global level is the increase in Oil Exports Iran as a result of lifting sanctions. See, when sanctions were tightened, when the European Union tightened sanctions in 2012, there was a precipitous trop in iran positive will exports by roughly a Million Barrels a day. For laterso notice that the opposition of trading partners also shifted. In the tradewas with western europe, whereas trade with partners, the oil exports to eastern partners increased in some cases in proportion was much larger. We set as a first approximation t irans oil experts exports were going to grow by about a Million Barrels a day in thet six to 12 months after accord is ratified.

It happened a few minutes after president obama finished speaking about cybersecurity today. It became clear the Central Command twitter account has been compromised by individuals or a group sympathetic to the Islamic State. Central command is responsible for all military activities in syria and iraq and afghanistan. Since that has occurred, the pentagon has suspended that account.
