Title: Facebook to go public in 2 weeks
Post by: 240 is Back on May 04, 2012, 08:18:38 AM
Facebook will go public with a stock price of $28 to $35, according to updated documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, a price that would set Facebook's valuation as high as $86.6 billion.

A good long-term investment?  Or will it be like myspace in a few years when someone else comes out with something better?

What could be better than FB?  Something 3 dimensional?  Something without timeline?  Something simpler or more complex?

On a side note Rob, could you imagine how hard it would be to convince someone that the fellow shown on that photo was not completely homosexual  ;D

I'm pretty sure facebook is on the decline. Even relative to six months ago, time line crap, and a fear of creepers and shit, has pretty much killed it.

They have a valuation similar to an earnings leader like Google, but a bullshit, inaccurate banner/text ad serving model.  people don't log-on to facebook to search or buy, and there are others like me who have 3-4 bogus accounts i don't even use, just log-in and out, so they add those into their active account stats.  The early investors are getting a chance to get their profits via dumbasses buying at inflated prices. They are history with 3-5 years.

they are going to strike while they can.  The public are a bunch of idiots giving an $86 billion value to a company that doesn't make or sell anything other than people's data.

I'm a big time investor myself, and I won't buy FB stocks for several reasons.

1. FB is already on top of it's game, there is not much more potential to grow, who wants a FB account already got one, it can only go downhill from now on.

2. An Internet company which is done is done, there is hardly a chance for an internet company to recover after a low. Look at myspace, look at yahoo, look at all the others, you think those companies will ever recover again? That means once FB is done and you haven't sold your shares in time, you can wipe your ass with them.

Car companies recover after poor years, food companies recover after poor years, internet companies don't.

Regarding Buffett:



Garri Kasparov ???

Dude was great chess player... but I don't know what went into him.
He got little ill in brain I think - he began to hate everyone but himself. Many geniuses eventually go the same path  :'(

From Kasparov's press conference in Russia some years back - the first public appearance of the new drone   ;D ;D ;D

Only buy if u can get it prior to the opening. These IPO's are a joke. You have to know somebody to get the stock before the opening, then it goes straight up when everyone else starts buying, and plunges down whe the initial guys dumb their stock.

Er, tell that to half the planet!

I agree timeline is fucking shit though, what's the point when everyone hates it?!

All I can think is that Ron is an idiot for not taking getbig public, he could make at least 3-4 billion US$.

Getbig has way more members than FB and is older, also more funny.

I would invest in getbig, it is a safe investment, men in thongs will never be out of fashion.
