A Closer Look

Facebook continues to dominate the social media and Internet landscape, beating estimates on earnings, revenue and MAUs. The stock hit a new all-time closing high of $117.58 on Friday.

Amazon posted its highest profit ever, leading the stock nearly all the way back (closed Friday at $659) to the all-time highs it was trading at last summer.
