The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker and chief technology officer Jeremy Phillips discuss topics across the investing world. Before Groupon's last earnings, Eric and Jeremy wrote an article urging investors to "Sell Groupon Before It's Too Late." The stock has declined more than 40% since that call. With Groupon seeing its shares soar today on seemingly no news, Eric and Jeremy revisit their bear case on the stock. Notably, they emphasize that Groupon's statements that it can drastically cut marketing and operating expenses should prove false over time. Groupon could see a rebound in the interim, especially as investors feed off the Facebook IPO later this week, but Eric and Jeremy continue telling investors to avoid the stock.
Big tech names like Groupon and Facebook might gather a lot of investor attention, but the truth is that they're playing second fiddle to an even larger revolution in technology. To better prepare investors for this new revolution, The Motley Fool has just released a free report on mobile called "The Next Trillion-Dollar Revolution" that details a hidden component play inside mobile phones that also is a leader in the exploding Chinese market. Inside the report, we not only describe why the mobile revolution will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it, but we also name the company at the forefront of the trend. Hundreds of thousands have requested access to previous reports, and you can access this new report today by clicking here -- it's free.
