Today, Facebook can survive the largest flight of investors in its history. After the publication of the results of the second quarter, which seemed to the market by failure, the company's capitalization after closing the main auction in New York collapsed by 24%, in money it was a gap of $ 151 billion, and in the state of Mark Zuckerberg-almost $ 17 billion. If the investors will not calm down after the main trading on Thursday, the social network may survive the largest falling over the entire American companies. The history of the US stock market. Following Facebook, the capitalization of other technological giants began to decline.

• At first glance, there is nothing critical in the quarterly results of Facebook - the company's net profit of the year by the year increased from $ 3.89 to $ 5.12 billion. But the analysts expected more, and what the first reaction of investors, you already understood.

Here are the five main reasons for disappointment, according to Techsrunch:

1. The lowest growth rate of the user base is 1.54% versus 3.14% in the first quarter of 2018;
2. a decrease in the number of users in Europe (from 377 million to 376 million) and the lack of growth in North America (241 million people);
3. The forecast of the fall of revenue in the second half of the year - the quotes collapsed immediately after the company's callist, the company's callist, admitted that the growth rate of growth will continue to slow down;
4. tightening of European legislation in the field of data protection;

5. The introduction of unpopular among advertisers of types of content supply (like stories).

6. Bloomberg writes that Facebook pays for numerous scandals associated with the data of data from millions of users.

7. It seems that other technological giants will also have the best day today: after the sale of Facebook at the Twitter post -market, it lost 6.5%, Netflix - 3.6%, Alphabet - 2.4%, Amazon - 2.5%, Apple - 1.6%.

What am I to me?

It is worth following how the events will develop today after the start of the bidding, if only because for many months in a row economists, financiers and large investment banks have been preparing for the beginning of the end. And some even warned that it was time to stop pumping up technological companies that previously gave a good result.

Offshores are not for everyone

In the very near future, Russia will have its own offshores - in the west and in the east of the country, but not everyone will be able to hide in them. The decision on the creation of special administrative regions (SAR) on the Russian islands in Primorye and Oktyabrsky in the Kaliningrad region of the State Duma should approve today, it will be possible to act in offshore already from the day the official publication of the law. Companies in these zones will not have to pay taxes from the sale of assets and from dividends received, 5%from paid. But only foreign legal entities that existed until 2018 will be able to register in them, and those who can invest at least 50 million rubles in these regions six months after registration. This eliminates the mass re -registration of business in offshores, but is ideal for oligarch companies that have fallen under sanctions.

The bet stood up

The Central Bank will not reduce the key rate this Friday, 20 analysts surveyed by Reuters are sure. The regulator will have to wait for how the business will respond to the decision to increase VAT from 18%to 20%from next year, maintaining a rate of 7.25%. Most likely, prices will begin to adapt to the growth of the tax burden in advance-now the Central Bank waits that inflation this year will accelerate from June 2.3%to 3.5-4%, and in the next canvas up to 4.5%is possible. Another risk factor is the trend for raising bets around the world.

Golovin flies in Monaco

Alexander Golovin is about to become the most expensive football players in Russian history. Last night it turned out that after an extremely successful world championship for him, the leader of CSKA was moving to Monaco. According to sources, the club of the former owner of Uralkalia Dmitry Rybolovlev will pay about € 30 million for the player, his contract will be designed for five years. The previous record belonged to Yuri Zhirkov, whom in 2009 Chelsea bought from the same CSKA for € 21 million. The midfielder became one of the key figures of the Russian national team at the 2018 World Cup: in four meetings of the tournament, he scored a goal and made two assists.

Signals

The date is canceled

After the extremely unsuccessful Russian-American summit, Donald Trump postponed the next meeting with Vladimir Putin until next year. Until yesterday, the White House invited Putin to Washington this fall, but now he believes that communication should be postponed until "the end of the witch hunting with Russia." The decision is natural: the Trump administration for the second week is justified for negotiations in Helsinki. Yesterday, the Secretary of State Pompeo had to specially perform in the Senate and undergo almost interrogation on what Trump actually agreed with Putin behind closed doors. And yesterday, Pompeo published a declaration of non -recognition of Crimea by Russian.

PRACTICE

Beauty in French

The Russian market of beauty salons can hardly be called stable: up to 20-25% of points here are annually ruined or closed, the same amounts to replace them. At the same time, even in a crisis, the Russians do not refuse their services and are ready to put up with rising prices. The highest competition kills even the most fashionable salons of the capital - the favorite places of celebrities, officials and oligarchs like the Dessange network. The “secret of the company” tells how the luxury French brand came to the Russian market, made a splash, survived the conflict of top managers and began to lose customers.

Smart clothes from Tommy Hilfiger

Modern technologies got to clothes. The American brand Tommy Hilfiger announced the launch of a new line called Tommy Jeans Xplore with a built -in chip. The truth is not the meaning of this technology that you can, with the help of clothes, get access to calls, messages, cards and music when you do not have a phone in your hands (as Google with Levi's). Smart clothing from Tommy Hilfiger works differently: via Bluetooth it connects to the XPLORE application (available on iOS), with which you can earn bonus points. You can get them, for example, for how often you put on Tommy Hilfiger. Fans are waiting for awards in the form of discounts and gift cards.
