Bono is your "bro" ?

ilnjscb 01-27-2011 01:22 PM

Fuck, no - which probably means you should

chaze 01-27-2011 01:25 PM

Depends on the opening price, it it's under a dollar I would. But mind you be quick if it opens. The first day it will sky rocket.

marketsmart 01-27-2011 01:26 PM

if they were public right now, i would...

but unless they get an ipo on the table in the next 12 months, i feel sorry for the private investors in now...

Scott McD 01-27-2011 01:54 PM

I would pay money to have it shut down if that counts...

At the right price, of course. The only investors getting the right price though are the underwriters. Everyone else is just a player in casino laying a bet.

I agree that networks are fickle. Each one, up one year then down four years later. Facebook has outlasted the others, but doesnt mean it will buck the trend.

I'm not talking about an IPO. I'm talking about an investment and getting shares in return.

I would invest in facebook in a heartbeat, they have a great product to offer to their customers, Our eyeballs and our information. Facebook is in a good position to sell our info and show us ads and make a lot of money doing it.

My $0.02

irwin99 01-27-2011 09:24 PM

I would only because I could sell it for more to the next bagholder. Long term (5+ years) not a believer however.

JOH 01-27-2011 09:30 PM

Just wait till I pronounce my new item! Make Facebook look silly!

It is in my final stages...looking good!

Lester Burnham 01-27-2011 09:41 PM

Nope. They are killing it with all the functionality add-ons that just make is harder to use (like MS with its office products). They should of kept the front end simple (like Google). Every fucking week it seems like I need to change some new setting or something.

I think twitter eventually destroys Facebook.

No way, they are seriously overvalued. How their valuation is at 50 billion baffles me.

I'm glad you are smart...baffles me!

blonda80 01-28-2011 01:27 AM

not now :)

CamsMaster 01-29-2011 07:30 AM

is a bit late now to invest

woj 01-29-2011 07:50 AM

All we've seen so far is just rumors and speculations... but it's not like financials even matter, everyone and their dog will buy a few share even if it's valued at 500B... with some luck could score a nice profit in a few weeks... :2 cents:

but no, I wouldn't "invest" in it, if anything I would just treat it as a gamble...

Chosen 01-29-2011 08:24 AM

I don't know.

BareBacked 01-29-2011 09:40 AM

you would have to be crazy to invest now.
Its being valued at 70billion.
While it might be worth that one day. I dont think anyone is going to make money at that price

Its too late.

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.

Facebook is a fad, just like Myspace.

DaddyHalbucks 01-29-2011 05:14 PM

No, but I would love to compete with them ;)

DVTimes 01-29-2011 05:33 PM

your better off developing a game or phone app as a bolt on to facebook and make money with that.
