Facebook Stock?

[Rans]

Monday should bring some stability and then the real fun starts. Underwriters have to support 38$ for a long-ish time whether they want it or not.

Also fb just needs to find how to get more $ per account, shouldn't be _too_ difficult.

[Fourfingers frankie]

Should I buy $1000 in shares?

if anything shortsell. In twelve months it will be @ 22

[Lallante]

Shortsell. When the lockin period ends a load of employees will offload which will further depress the price.

they are going to struggle to make isk as more and more people access fb through their phones (ie less or no advertising possible).

Expect pay-to-post/pay-to-friend in a few years time.

Thus completely missing the point of FB and killing it.

The problem with Facebook is they offer no product for consumption. The stock won't do magnificently until they start selling our personal data

As if selling people's information doesn't make enough money.

I agree that it's a bad investment, but if anything new laws are being added to facilitate the sale of private data, not make it harder.

I predict the trend will reverse. Just think about how health privacy has changed over time and how strict it is? I think the same will happen with shopping/browsing/reading habits.

Isn't this how google makes most of its cash, targeted advertising? But of course google gives its users a great product.

Their name did become a substitute for a descriptor of most phrases describing the use of a search engine. I'm not all that surprised, after the tech bubble crashed internet companies kind of need to show their worth. While facebook does have proof of concept it doesn't produce or sell products you can hold in your hand so it's actual future dominance can be as short as the time it will take for someone to develop the next cool new thing that the kids like. It's no Ebay or Amazon that's for sure.

BBC tech blog guy made the interesting observation about the mixed message of the CEO of a company dependent on its users freely giving up information about their lives to facebook (& by extention to paying advertisers) getting married in secret. Not that one would expect him to announce it to the world months in advance, but if more users thought that way there would be ad revenue.

[Fourfingers frankie]

they have a model dependent upon the type of advertising that its consumers dont use and as an industry is in terminal decline. In addition to that they are losing the ability to sell anything as people migrate to telephones to access facebook. Faced with this they are making increasingly stupid decisions (pay to be popular?) and this will only get worse as they try and wring revenue out of mobile facebook. Their base of users is increasingly disillusioned with facebook and is in fact only sticking around because there is nothing better (or more importantly nothing has caught the zeitgeist). There is nothing the company can do to turn itself around at this point. When jobs are asking for your facebook password you know its going to tank.

The stock stinks and imo will be the catalyst to a wider tech bubble around these billion dollar startups like pinterest that dont even make any fucking money.
