Tidbits on Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR), Bruker (BRKR), Geeknet (GKNT)

Facebook (FB) spent $19 billion to buy a company named WhatsApp. $19 billion approximates Twitter's (TWTR) market value on 02014.02.20. FB and TWTR closed yesterday at $68.08 and $55.50, respectively.

Bruker (BRKR) get a 'Sell' rating by Zacks Equity Research. Zachs.com has a posting headlined: Can Bruker (BRKR) Continue to Rise? My response: Yes... as long as scientists keep doing science.

Geeknet (GKNT) is reporting 4Q'13 results tomorrow (02014.02.21) morning. It bothers me that the company has taken so long to report year end results for 02013. The company has been quiet with respect to ThinkGeek's holiday sales.
