3 Reasons Why Alibaba Group Holding Ltd Stock Can Keep Going
It’s been another bumper year so far for Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA). Alibaba stock has made its way more than 60% higher over the course of the year and investors who have stuck with the “Amazon of China” since 2016 have seen returns of more than 120%. Alibaba stock has seen its fair share of peaks and troughs over the past year as investors weigh the risks of investing in a Chinese tech firm against the potential growth the company is offering.

Why the heck is Dropbox Inc (NASDAQ:DBX) soaring so much? DBX stock is up 40% in five trading days and while that type of rally isn’t incomprehensible when there’s a catalyst, there’s seemingly no catalyst here. Chinese stocks are all the rage, so it makes sense why Sogou Inc (NYSE:SOGO), iQiyi, Inc (NASDAQ:IQ) and HUYA Inc – ADR (NYSE:HUYA) are going through the roof.

Why Are We Pretending Destiny 2's Guided Games Isn't Just Matchmaking, But Slower
Bungie realized that they couldn’t make the normal Nightfall inaccessible to non-DLC-buying players, so the one you can complete for the milestone is recommended power 270. The Nightfall is quite easy if you’re just trying to run a normal one for the milestone or to farm catalysts. Any random heroic strike with glass or blackout as the modifier is at least twice as hard as the Nightfall at this point, and yet I can matchmake into that playlist, but not this one.

Buying Disney Would Make Facebook, Inc. Stock a Lot More Real
Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) just keeps getting more valuable, because Facebook stock is a diverse stock in and of itself. That won’t shield it from another internet bubble burst, but buying a company with physical, real world assets might. New media companies are now as vulnerable as they were the last time the internet bubble burst.

Former Head Of Sony Online Entertainment Lays Out 'Dumb Reason' For No PS4 Cross-Play
The storm around a lack of cross-play on PS4 has not abated in the wake of the news out of E3 that not only can you not play with Xbox or Switch players if you have a PS4-linked Fortnite account, but that you cannot use that account at all on either of those platforms. Sony has issued a statement that somehow manages to boast about its sales numbers while dodging the account-locking part of the problem entirely.

Can Employees Force A Company To Be More Ethical?
Companies are relatively abstract entities, created by an amalgam of diverse individuals, and largely dedicated to making money along the lines of shareholder value. The closest thing to corporate ethics is corporate social responsibility, which in too many cases has proved to be little more than a propaganda tool to justify a few worthy words in an annual report. In the absence of corporate ethics employees are increasingly speaking out against their company when they feel it has crossed the line: Google staff have spoken out against the Department of Defense’s Maven Project, a lucrative image recognition contract that many other technology companies have chosen to keep quiet about.

10 Top Stock Picks From Wall Street’s Best Analysts
The word on Wall Street - from the mouths of several top analysts - is that the market still has some serious room to run. And quality stock picks should be much better rewarded going forward than they have on average through the first half of 2018. For instance, Tony Dwyer, chief market strategist at Canaccord Genuity, believes earnings will rise to record levels by the end of the year. He has upped his 2018 operating-earnings forecast for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock forecast to $160 per share, from $155 previously. "Throughout this cycle, each intermediate-term correction feels like the fundamental and tactical backdrop is at risk, only to ultimately realize that positive influences that drive our core thesis still exist," he wrote in a recent report. We turned to TipRanks' revamped Stock Screener to see which stocks top analysts are betting on right now. These stock picks tend to feature big growth potential over the coming months. We specifically filtered for stocks with a "Strong Buy" consensus rating from the best-performing analysts. By looking at analyst ratings since 2009, we can pinpoint the outperforming analysts with the highest success rate and average return. The following 10 stocks stood out as particularly compelling top analyst stock picks. Let's take a look. SEE ALSO: 25 Blue-Chip Stocks Mutual Fund Managers Love Most

Do Developers Prefer Oracle over Its Peers?
Earlier in the series, we discussed Oracle’s (ORCL) position in the IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service) spaces and compared its market share, revenue, and growth rate to those of its peers. Oracle’s PaaS and IaaS cloud offerings revenue, despite being at a smaller base of ~$416 million, has grown less than the revenues of top players such as Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOG). While Google has reported growth of 120%, Microsoft’s cloud offerings have grown 98% on a YoY (year-over-year) basis.
