(SNAP) may be getting all the attention since it went public on Nasdaq​ but at least one money manager prefers Facebook Inc.(FB), urging investors to own that stock instead.(See also: Snap Beats Facebook to Geofilter Patent.)In a wide ranging interview with Barron’s late last week, Andrew Fruchter, partner and co-portfolio manager at Mark Asset Management, said that while Snap Inc.'sSnapchat increases the level of competition in the social media industry, Facebook is doing a good job of keeping up with its new nemesis.The investor pointed specifically to Instagram Chief Executive Kevin Systrom, saying Instagram Stories is a perfect example of its ability to compete.“Very recently, Instagram Stories had grown to over 200 million daily active users, up from 150 million back in January of this year, which we find to be very impressive,” Fruchter said in the Barron’s interview.Explosive Growth Late last month, Instagram announced it now has more than 1 million monthly advertisers, up from 200,000 in the same time period a year ago.

In a blog post announcing the milestone, Instagram credited the explosive growth rate in the number of advertisers to a bevy of new features it launched in recent months.“In the last year, Instagram had more change than the previous five.We introduced Instagram Stories—a new way for businesses to share everyday moments—video exploded, we welcomed a new brand identity and the community grew to more than 600 [million] globally,” Instagram said.(See also: Instagram Claims More Than 1M Monthly Advertisers.)But it’s not only Instagram Stories that has gotten Fruchter so fired up about Facebook, which it has owned since June 2013 when the stock traded at around $20 a share.As of Friday’s close, shares of Facebook were trading at $143.68.The money manager said Instagram is still “drastically under-monetized with great upside in ad pricing” and that video advertising monetization on all of Facebook’s platforms will likely accelerate.And then there’s Facebook’s 1.86 billion monthly active users and 1.23 billion daily active users, many of which spend more than 50 minutes a day posting, liking and sharing.

“Other companies and platforms are having an increasingly difficult time competing with Facebook's scale and engagement for advertising dollars.Accordingly, a majority of the online advertising dollars go to either Facebook or Google, and our research indicates no reason this will change in the near term,” the money manager said.bitcoin firmwareWant to learn how to invest?buy bitcoin mining hardware ukGet a free 10 week email series that will teach you how to start investing.bitcoin arkDelivered twice a week, straight to your inbox.bitcoin sportsbooksNo thanks, I prefer not making money.litecoin added to coinbase
