Our first public offering will be in 1999, to kick off the new millennium and to celebrate the release of The Matrix.

But if we're all being realistic, if we had the money to manipulate the stock market, we'd all have bought as many shares of FB as possible on the second day and then sell them when they hit 50 bucks in a week or 3

I would and will try to make a fast buck on it, but long term, no. Not until they show some sort of plan for generating revenue.

ITs like kinetic and potential energy. Facebook is all potential atm. When they get a plan for kinetic, then BAM. its game on.

If you guys want some sort of quasi insider tip..

Visa.

They are about to make a change that is going to add billions to their revenue stream.

Thomson Reuters Starmine conservatively estimates a 10.8 percent annual growth rate -- almost exactly the mean for the technology sector -- which would value the stock at $9.59 a share, a 72 percent discount to its IPO price.

I was wondering whether there was a thread on this...can't believe I missed my old friends pedro putting it up, I should have known it would be him.

As for facebook...how any one could think of investing in a company with nigh on a 100 p/e ratio is beyond me...especially when there are such obvious cash cows as Google floating about.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/beck-fa ... -internet/

Was Facebook systematically overvalued in order to force it into a government bailout?

That’s the hypothesis that Glenn Beck offered on GBTV tonight, and like many of Beck’s hypotheses, you might be surprised at the evidence that exists for it. In a nearly 20 minute segment, Beck meticulously and carefully picked his way through the past record of the company that handled the IPO for Facebook – Morgan Stanley – and pointed out that they don’t exactly have a record of success in helping companies go public.

ā€œMorgan Stanley was the lead consultant on Fannie and Freddie bailouts,ā€ Beck said in the segment. ā€œThey also set the IPO for General Motor. Whoa.ā€

The evidence from that point continued to mount, all to support Beck’s contention that the administration wanted Facebook to fail. Why? So that it could be brought into the orbit of the government as one of many formerly powerful companies that had to take money in exchange for loyalty. Beck suggested that the reason the government would want this is because control over Facebook via public money would enable them to have huge amounts of control over the internet, which they would then use to stifle dissent.

Thats some tinfoil hat shit right there Scotty.

Bailouts are used for avoiding bankruptcy and thus avoiding the mass devaluation of tangible, but often unrealised, assets.

Facebook has no tangible assets. Thus there would be no reason for them to recieve a bailout.

I thought the asset was the facebook participants? you and me..... tin foil hats optional. P.S. tin foil hats are worn by people who make comments and decisions about things with 0 information. I just posted this clip a few minutes ago and the video is 19 minutes.... :roll: (looks for tinfoil hat emotican for Lootifer)

btw, anyone (except lootifer, who didn't but is ready to talk ALL about it) who watches the video on that facebook link 2 posts up, BOY it gets juicy around 13 minutes! If you thought General Motors pulling it's advertising the day before the Facebook IPO was fishy, you might want to see it.

He thinks I got pimpdave banned, then when he found out he was wrong but had already went too far with his accusation, then rather than apologizing and admitting he was wrong he took it even further and began trolling me in all my topics, accusing me of ruining all my topics. Obviously, he is the one ruining the discussions. He is trying to ruin this one too

I try to stay talking about Facebook. BBS tries to talk about dog poop. nuff said
