With Facebook's share price tanking, at what point do you think it becomes an attractive acquisition target for a company sitting on a boatload of cash? (think Apple)

more like think Myspace. FB != AAPL. They have no tangible product or innovation. Sure, they add a feature here and there, but they have done nothing to "revolutionize" social networking. A new fad will come along eventually and you will think "Myspace". And don't think they can't run through that cash real quick-like.

FB itself is sitting on a lot of cash. Could make for a good leveraged buyout deal.

No idea what the price would have to drop to . Clearly the IPO price was way too high so I would think that it would really have to tumble for someone to consider an acquisition.

Facebook scares me due to legislative risk resulting from privacy/data mining issues. They aren't really innovating anything nor producing anything.
