NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Facebook shares tanked today after the world’s largest social-networking company said revenue growth slowed in the second quarter and didn’t give much of an outlook for the rest of the year.

Plenty of analysts, though, remain bullish on the company.

“Lack of forward guidance put pressure on shares,” Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia said in a note. “However, we think Facebook’s market opportunity remains large and the stock should be a core holding in tech portfolios with a long-term horizon.” …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Virtualization specialist AppSense may not be as well known as VMware, but the Goldman Sachs-backed company says it could become equally successful.

“Could we be the next VMware? The next Citrix? Absolutely, we believe we could,” said AppSense CEO Darron Antill in an interview with The Street. “Our ambition is to remain independent and be a leading independent software company of the decade in the user virtualization space.”

This may seem like a bold claim, but AppSense has already garnered plenty of positive attention. Last year, the company received $70 million from Goldman Sachs — Goldman’s largest technology investment other than Facebook, which raised $450 million from the bank. …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The major U.S. averages endured an ugly session Tuesday with sentiment soured by a batch of tepid business and economic reports from around the globe, disappointing corporate results and ongoing eurozone concerns.

The risk-off action pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond to a new historic lows under 1.4%. Stocks found some buyers just ahead of the closing bell though, allowing the major U.S. equity indices to bounce off their worst levels of the day.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 104 points, or 0.82%, to close at 12,617. The session low was 12,522. It was the third consecutive triple-digit decline for the blue-chip index, which is still up 3.27% so far in 2012. …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — U.S. stocks finished sharply lower Friday as soaring Spanish borrowing costs renewed concerns about Europe’s debt crisis.

The sour market mood prompted a broad decline across risk asset classes as well as a sharp spike in bond prices with the five-year Treasury yield touching a record low. The latest round of earnings reports were mixed as well, lending little support for equities. Still, the major indices did finish higher for the week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 121 points, or 0.93%, to close at 12,823. The move pushed the blue-chip index back into negative territory for the month. For the week, though, the Dow rose 0.36%, and the year-to-date gain sits at 4.95%. …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Stocks fell sharply Monday morning as a better-than-expected new home sales report failed to mollify investor anxiety about the potential outcome of the eurozone summit later this week.
