Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) both argue that Google doesn't cover its platforms during live sessions and other valuable activity time that's trackable for advertising. That translates to ad dollars that they can't tap into, and many experts don't see them as a serious part of that social space, Sullivan added.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Canadian Value]
To quantify the relationship between real gold prices and real yields, we can regress the price of gold from 2006 to 2013 (we used the logarithm of the real price of gold in our model) against the 10-year real yield from the Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) market. (In our view, this regression is appropriate since gold and real yields are co-integrated and there is an economic rationale for believing they should be.) Based on our study, the regression shows that, all else equal, a 100-basis-point (bp) increase in 10-year real yields has historically led to a decline of 26.8% in the inflation-adjusted price of gold. In other words, over the past seven years gold has had a real duration of 26.8 years. (Note that this is solely an empirical duration that describes the way that gold has traded. Since gold has no cash flows, its duration does not need to be constant, and there is nothing magic about the 26.8 number. Just as the correlation between stocks and bonds varies over time depending on changes in macroeconomic variables and investor risk appetite, the real duration of gold may also change in the future.)

Let's go over a few reasons to worry as Activision Blizzard steps up to report.
Analysts see a brutal quarter with revenue falling 43% and earnings falling even harder. Wall Street's forecasting a profit of $0.06 a share, well off the $0.20 a share it earned a year earlier. World of Warcraft players continue to defect from the massive multiplayer game. The game peaked in popularity with more than 12 million active accounts three years ago. We're now down to 8 million -- and falling. Last year's sleeper hit -- Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures -- will be challenged in a few weeks. Disney's (NYSE: DIS ) Disney Infinity takes the same model of physical figures that can enter a virtual world when planted on a base. Skylanders was the industry's hottest seller through the first half of 2012, but now we're seeing Activision Blizzard turn to deep discounts to get young gamers hooked before Disney steps in next month. The video game industry has been declining for four years, but diehard gamers feel that November's debut of PS4 and Xbox One will breathe new life into the niche. That may be wishful thinking, and at the very least it will take a couple of years before either platform grows into a substantial base of players. Call of Duty: Ghosts also happens to hit the market in November. This is the franchise that has been Activision Blizzard's saving grace as other once-popular lines fall out of favor. It should set new sales records, but it won't be easy. Gamers saving up for new platforms or those concerned about buying too many games for current generation systems may be more hesitant than usual this time. Take-Two Interactive's (NASDAQ: TTWO ) Grand Theft Auto IV held the sales record before Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty games took the lead. After more than five years, Grand Theft Auto V hits the market in September. If Call of Duty: Ghosts fails to raise the bar for initial unit sales, don't be surprised if the finger gets poi - [By Jon C. Ogg]
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) may not be seeing much of�a follow-on gain for its shares after the release of the notorious Grand Theft Auto 5. The reason is that shares had at one point almost doubled from the lows of the last year in anticipation. What is impressive, make that more than impressive,�is that this video game launch set a record of $800 million at the launch day, and now its sales in just three days have crossed over the $1 billion mark in just three days.

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) is up by less than 1% despite being touted in Barron’s over the weekend. The financial publication showed that more good is coming here and that shares could rise by another 30%. The only point we might make is that video game stocks already are�seeing such high gains ahead of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 that we cannot help but wonder if all the good news has been priced in even before the new consoles hit the retail shelves.
