homeless Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 95 billion, there having a laugh. The company i think made about 1 billion usd last accounts. And if you ask me facebook has been in decline since then. Such a risky company in a risky market sector. being a user of facebook myself on a personal level im seeing a lot of user backlash against there new layout specifically there new timeline feature. I can see many ready to jump ship to the new myspace or bebo or whatever. Also i have noticed, there is not as much posts happening on facebook like before. Most status updates go ignored now but before there were 10 comments within a minute. There is a definite user fatigue, the froth has blown off. This company at that price is going to crash and burn. Stay well clear of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtomsilver Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Good shorting opportunity. How can a lowly investor like me short this stock... it's not like I can go borrow the shares from an institution? CFDs? Put? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rw42 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Shorting it will be dangerous - you've not only got to be right, you've got to be right at the right time. Until everyone else has the lightbulb moment it'll drift upwards. Only thing FB is good for in my opinion is photo sharing - see what friends have been up to, makes it easier to keep in contact with people i don't live with any more. If i could get that somewhere else and dump all the other shite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorting isn't investing, it's speculating. And as a speculator you're fair game for whatever happens to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namdelgnir Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Price to sales ratio of 26. Price to Earnings of 77. Think I'll stick with the boring high yield defensives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
