CFL: Still Awaiting "Montreal Manziel" Appearance....

Facebook Debaucle; What Goes Up...Does Not Always Go Up

Many "investors" asked throughout the day as they turned on to their CP24 "news" source and discovered Facebook shares being hit hard.  As a result of a terrible quarter (yes "investors", publicly listed companies do this sort of thing four times a year, you have to keep an eye on it),  deteriorating guidance on future advertising revenues (this is how Facebook makes money "investors", not because everyone is just using it), and a realization that growth cannot last forever. 

No one hit harder than Zuckerberg himself - a US$16B hit on the day for him from reports I read earlier (seems a bit steep for a half trillion dollar company).  "Oh well, long term hold" I think he would say. 



Justin, oh Justin, Where Art Thou?

CFL: Manziel To Have His Day In the Canadian Spotlight

After nearly an entire season of losing and a highly touted quarterback sitting on the sidelines down the highway, it looks as though Johnny Football will have a team to start and showcase his wares. 

Whether the Alouettes are the team for him we will find out. Although based on his past headlines, Montreal is the town for him. 

If he can keep out of the media spotlight during his off field activities, then maybe he will be the answer to Montreal's and the Eastern Conference's attendance woes.
