What are Facebook's current revenue streams? And its financial growth prospects?
Even AOL at the height of the dotcom boom had solid revenue from multiple sources, including subscriptions and high-paying CPM advertisers.
In contrast, Facebook's revenue (reportedly, their CPM ad rates are abysmal) is quite paltry for their current $50+ billion valuation, and is presumably the reason Facebook seeks to stay under 500 shareholders to avoid having to disclose their financial details.
I mention AOL, since it and Facebook have many similarities in what they are; walled-off gardens with their own proprietary platforms. Big difference is Facebook seemingly has few viable revenue streams compared to what AOL has, even now.
With all that said, Facebook will likely be a good speculation play - presumably will be a very volatile stock and thus, with some skill and luck, one could probably do very well flipping in and out of positions; ride the wave.
