Taking a look at Snapchat, they recently hit with their first numbers and it has disappointed the street. People came out stating that Instagram and Facebook could be taking some of the thunder, which could ultimately hurt the business.

Typically, a company's
financial statements are the reports that show the
financial position of the company. There are three main documents that fall into the category of financial statements. These documents include SPDR SP income statement, its balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. Potential SPDR SP investors and stakeholders use financial statements to determine how well the company is positioned to perform in the future. Although SPDR SP investors may use each financial statement separately, they are all related. The changes in SPDR SP's assets and liabilities, for example, are also reflected in the revenues and expenses that we see on SPDR SP's income statement, which results in the company's gains or losses. Cash flows can provide more information regarding cash listed on a balance sheet, but not equivalent to net income shown on the income statement. Please read more on our
technical analysis and
fundamental analysis pages.

fundamental analysis page.
And What about dividends?
A dividend is the distribution of a portion of SPDR SP earnings, decided and managed by the company's board of directors and paid to a class of its shareholders. Note, announcements of dividend payouts are generally accompanied by a proportional increase or decrease in a company's stock price. SPDR SP dividend payments follow a chronological order of events, and the associated dates are important to determine the shareholders who qualify for receiving the dividend payment. SPDR one year expected dividend income is about USD1.51 per share.

dividends, such as etf of SPDR SP 500, is one of many strategies that are good for long-term investments. Ex-dividend dates are significant because investors in SPDR SP must own a stock before its ex-dividend date to receive its next dividend.

Going after SPDR Financials
Looking over at Amazon, they are one of the companies that is disrupting the traditional retail space. Many companies have failed to push their business online and that has resulted in a slow down in sales or ultimate failure. Amazon is the future of retail and many have yet to change and adapt. It is the mind set of joining them rather than beating them.
Going back to social media, Facebook is becoming the most effective place to advertise your business. You have the ability to target your advertisements and have it show up in front of people that are likely to purchase your service or products. What sets Facebook apart from the others is that every age group and gender use it, meaning you have access just about anyone. Where as if you use Snapchat to advertise, you could be limited as it is not as popular among older people compared to the people in high school.
Pulling this all together, the message is simple; technology is changing how companies do business. The retails space is feeling it right now with online shopping slowing the traditional store sales. Tech should be utilized and in terms of investing, it will likely have an impact on many, if not all of the companies on the stock market. Keep an eye on the new people such as Snapchat and the seasoned veterans like Facebook. Also, watch what Amazon is doing and see if other companies are following, because that is probably the right way.
