Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) frenzy has swept the land.

I obviously was not born when gold fever hit the California coast, but Facebook frenzy has to be very close in resemblance.  Just look at the creepy similarities:

For as long as I have had coverage on Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), the bulls have tended to outnumber the bears.

Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) views itself at the “third place environment”, whatever that means:

This is corporate lingo for “we want you to visit us before, during, or after work”, which comes before heading home to the family or letting them know you arrived safely to the office in the AM.

Maybe you were able to grab a quick read of the March employment report released on Friday while there were commercials on during the Masters.

If not, then do so today - for the report was a giant disappointment on “The Street.” Although those smartest of smart in the finance field will point to 120,000 jobs created in March as being the showstopper of the report, I take a different stance.

GameStop (GME) has often been a frustrating company to track. In my view, here are the three different debates on the company that only seem to confuse would-be investors:

Hey, it’s Friday, and economic data could be a boring read this late in the week, so why not use a title from a 1990s classic hip-hop song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJgFU3U4X_Y)? Seriously, though, I didn’t sense much in the way of concern in the market regarding the February PPI report.

Earnings season is behind us, leaving with it memories of slowing corporate profit growth and some tough to stomach first takes on 2012 guidance.

Capex plans appear to be fairly solid as companies lay the foundation both online and in the ground to make up for the underinvestment during the Great Recession.

Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) has officially become the darling dollar store stock on the Street. Over the course of 13-week’s, Dollar Tree shares have appreciated a not so skimpy 18%, and now trade at a not so cheap 19x forward earnings (lofty premium to peer group).

The market sure spun what was initially thought to be a negative outcome on China’s inflation into a positive.
