    Apple's seismic change to the mobile ad ecosystem
    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/15/apples-seismic-change-to-the-mobile-ad-industry-draws-near.html

    With the change, iPhone users will see a pop-up window in each app. The pop-up warns users that an app is tracking their data for advertising purposes, and gives them the option to block the app from doing so. For Facebook, for example, it would read, “Facebook would like permission to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies,” with an option to allow tracking or ask the app not to track. App owners also have a bit of language they can tailor themselves, but they only have a limited area to do so.

    The fear among app makers is that many users will turn off the ad tracking capabilities of an app when they see the pop-up warning and blow up their business model of letting advertisers effectively target and measure ads and their effectiveness on the iPhone. Facebook already warned its investors in August that the change could shave off 50% of its revenue from its Audience Network revenue.

    Haha oh man, I don't pay too much attention to IPOs so I missed that.
    I think this is another one that had a market cap greater than its TAM?

    ALRM breaking out today AFTER acquiring another company.
    It's an interesting acquisition of a company that can detect gunshots with its receiver inside the home. Expands the business of ALRM, giving it a cool little product.
    Good acquisition.

    Whats about Biontech ISIN: US09075V1026 ? Their vaccine seems to the data much better as Modernas vaccine and they have a much better distribution (Pfizer)
    They are even sell their vaccine to China. Next year their Q1 and Q2 numbers will be exploding. They deliver the world.

    Facebook frying up the smaller fish.
    Maybe stand up for REAL NEWS first.

    FB putting it in writing that their advertising will lose 60% effectiveness. Guess they should continue to help small businesses then by reducing their ad rates by 60%. Not going to hold my breath for that.

    FED day again. Usually initial reaction for the market is wrong and the price action will be reversed at the end of the session. Will see if the same thing happen this time :p
