Facebook ( FB ) stock is at a new all-time high following its latest earnings report. Meanwhile, Twitter ( TWTR ) shares gapped lower this week after another lackluster quarterly earnings report. To revisit a theme from my previous Facebook vs. Twitter posts , this is a prime example of why you want to buy strength and avoid (or sell) weakness in the stock market. FB , the st rong stock , continues to trounce it s weaker rival TWTR in terms of relative stock performance. Witness the latest FB vs. TWTR performance chart. Since its IPO in late 2013, TWTR (shown in purple) has declined by 61 per cent (-61%). In that same time frame, FB is up 151 per cent (151%). Looking back, which stock would you have rather owned? Of course, hindsight is 20/20, so I'll remind you that this trend towards Facebook's social media and stock market dominance was taking shape (and documented here in real-time) back in 2014 and 2015.
