fair value is around $3/share, IMHO

I wonder if Mr. Zuckerberg is quietly arranging to become a citizen of Singapore, like his partner.

Actually I heard someone on CNBC talk about how BIG IPOs like this rarely decline. In fact most (7/8ths) are up higher than the market average after a year.
This was over sold. It will settle into the 20’s before the next quarter. Then it will live or die on revenues. Like every other company that makes nothing.

google might be "worth" as much as 25 billion after the IPOTotally insane. Search engines come and go. This one is nothing special.

Wouldn’t be surprised if The FED is buying FB shares right now.

I thought that company insiders had to hold for a certain number of months before selling after an IPO? I am confused

There are 800 million active users on facebook. 800 million is a good percentage of the worlds population. Right. Just about everybody in the world who MIGHT want to be a FaceBook user, HAS ALREADY BECOME a FaceBook user. They are close to saturating their user market. Their revenue stream now is probably as high as it will go. So what justifies the enormous multiple over earnings?

Do you pay for membership? I don’t so it doesn’t matter that they won’t add significant numbers of new users. What matters is they have access to a tremendous pool of consumers. Lots of companies will pay for access to their info and to present marketing info to them.

This should not even be a thread.
POOR POOR reporting
