Looking at it now this seems a bit silly, but between this board and especially the OT, the vast majority of posters predict every new apple product will flop. According to a few posters, the original iPad was guaranteed to flop, and to flop hard. It was only the "idiots, appletards and fanbois" who said it would be a success.
Apple makes something. What does FB make? Not a fricking thing. What An arse!

I'd love to hear your opinion on Facebook as a company but save the technicals for the experts.
I've weighed in.
FB has two hurdles. One is to overcome the recent exacerbation regarding the concept that the current ad model is ineffective and does not provide an adequate return for advertisers. The second is that FB has yet to generate ad revenue from it's mobile apps which are a huge portion of it's user's utilization of FB.
A billion eyes ends up being a profit, though, no matter how you look at it.

FB will go the same way as RIMM. A 20-30bil market cap company.

How is it you ask?... Well I shorted it and that play is coming out really well so far.
FB was the most over-hyped stock of the decade and I called it. Their only chance of truly massive organic growth says they can't operate w/in their territorial boundaries. They are going to have to spend a lot more fcf if they want to do something in the mobile phone realm. They don't pay a dividend..... and they are trading at freaking 97x earnings.
Bottom line:
It doesn't even look attractive at 15 a share.

The only people I know that bought into the hype were small time individual investors that had no clue what they were doing in the first place. It was merely a cash-out event for the guys that got in early and understood that their investment was ridiculously overvalued. Doesn't require rocket science to figure that out.

No discussion on this today after the earnings report?
Can it recover?

I think it can recover, but I don't think it's done falling after earnings released.
Zynga's tank is hurting too. Faceplant needs something new other than games to crawl out. Time to make the capital work for them

Zygna relies on facebook for their apps. You dont want a stock that relies on another company for its earnings or growth.
Also with facebook, unless its starts offering premium services similiar to linkedin (monthly subscriptions) and better advertising like google, I dont see much revenue growth, which is huge in determining the value of stock.

When the FB IPO went off and it didn't do well, without searching, I think I called the bottom being $23 to $28 but I was talking short term until it found it's legs.
Maybe the guys saying it was a $17 stock were right.

Nothing like a "new" low today of $21.67 and the day is not over yet.

On Monday came an explosive claim that could give pause to brands trying to figure out if advertising works on Facebook. A Long Island start-up company said it was pulling its ads from the social network because it discovered that its ad clicks were far more likely to be coming from Web robots – or bots, as they are known — than human Facebook users. The company, called Limited Run, helps bands and record labels sell music and merchandise online. It bought advertisements for itself on Facebook this spring. It wanted to know who was clicking, so it built its own analytics tool. It discovered that only one in five clicks seemed to be from human beings. The rest, it said, came from bots, which, in essence, are bits of software performing automated tasks.

I actually planned to buy FB if it hit $20, this was in June or July last year. I just forgot to keep up with it, had too many other moves going on. I'd be upset, but I had 5 other positions that returned 200% or more since FB was hovering in the low 20s, I didn't miss much by not pulling the trigger on FB.

I bought on the way up at 24.. Still holding..

I have to say, I don't understand FB valuation. PEG @ ~3? I don't get it.
Seems like the momentum is there, and FB shares likely will rise further, for some reason.
I just don't know what the reason is.

I think this is subconscious thought that kept me from buying it.
