I made some money tradeing its shares probably because of all the hype. Goldman sachs shorted the bejesus out of it afterwards.

This is the biggest LULZY post of garbage I've ever seen! HAHAA. Needless to say I won't be coming to BHW for financial advice.
First off the IPO allocation which sold out pre-market opening and retail allocation are separate and once it hit market the public could buy it if they wanted through the same volume channels as every other stock, so maybe he did buy some shares, get off his ass when you don't know what you're talking about.
Secondly the stock, as a stock, SUCKS ASS. They lied in their S-1 claiming the 800M users valued at $125 per user. Which we all know that about 30% of those are all of OUR BHW fake accounts, HAHAHA. The SEC should shut the damn thing out of the market, and not even ALLOW Twitter to file for IPO when they decide too because of the skewed fake numbers.
Technically speaking the $FB stock should be in the $20's at best. The insiders of the company were able to purchase at $1.99, so when you give your employees $1.99 per share, but IPO at $38, yeah you're fundamentals are fudge sticked
Put it this way, Groupon insiders could purchase at $7, it popped hard on the first couple days with an original IPO of $20, about 3x insider cost basis, now it'll probably open around $11.50 on Monday.
$FB will be back in the teens before June is over unless they come up with some radical revenue model, prove up the solid legitimate accounts (which is why you are all getting the Perkins Coie letters about fake likes). Their first earnings call will be a DISASTER for FB!!!!!
BTW, another little tidbit of insider chatter I've been hearing is that Google is planning to buy Twitter with all of their free cash, so when (or if) that happens be ready for all of the google ass rammer team to come in and hammer on your fakies.

They will recover, well back in the mid-teens at least, after this year if the market has an upswing, they took an early hit because they were forced to switch from their kooky ass accounting they were doing, to GAAP so it really effed up their numbers thy reported as probable in their IPO.
They also had some issues in their structure they were working with merchants. What was happening is that a restaurant or retailer KNEW they were going bankrupt, so they quickly went to push groupon to make an offer. the Groupons would sell out, the and Groupon would send the company a huge check, keep their percentage, but then by the time the customers went to use the Groupon the place had shut down and boarded up the place leaving Groupon to issue full amount of refunds without being able to recoup from the retailer.
So they have put in some stuff to fix certain areas, but they are going to struggle domestically. They are still opening a lot of international offices that are new to coupons as a whole. Could be interesting. I love the company, know them very well actually through my ex being one of their top executives, but I wouldn't recommend their stock. It's one of those "no product, difficult monetization" model companies.

I feel like this whole FB stock hype was more like a product launch than it is a actual smart investment.
Everyone running around before it came out going nuts like "Oh FB stock is coming, buy buy buy" just like the usual clickbank product launch. I dont trust that stock, I feel something fishy about it.
Then again I am a complete noobie in the stock game

I had this idea that the people who are going to make a ton of people with the Facebook IPO are all of the people who are selling tons of stock in Facebook.
I imagine that Zuckerberg and the other people who have been running (and owning) facebook since it's inception have a better view of the company than me. And if they want to sell their shares. I don't really want to buy them.
basically, because facebook sucks on mobile phones and that's where I do most of my "social computing".
That being said, I started traveling around the world recently and all of these asians are fascinated with my Iphone and Macbook Air (wasn't an APple junkie, just bought an Iphone as a bandwagon thing, and the Air for travel).
So on Monday I bought 20 shares of Apple at 530... Then Apple closed at 562 or something. And I made a 5.5% return (unrealized gains as I'm not selling anytime soon). but this was the first time i've ever invested in a stock. So yeah... I thought maybe I should start a hedge fund or something to let the commoners take advantage of my investing genius.
Compared to Facebook though, Apple is a no brainer. Facebook doesn't have any fiscal policy that's clear.
And the nerve of a $104bn valuation with less than $1bn in profit last year is just insulting to the market. And I think enough people realized it in time. Compared to Apples 45 billion gross profit and 500billion market cap... It just looks like a better company overall to me. And I think a lot of people are getting sick of Facebook. It's become more of a self indulgence than anything valuable. Buying instagram was a bad move, that might turn out to be a great move.
All in all, I wish all my Facebook friends were on Google Plus. But at the same time, I'm glad their not.
Moral of the story. Don't take investing advice from Facebook statuses.

He got to buy 2.3% 3 years ago as a private investor for 90$million.. OP is talking about buying public shares at its overhyped IPO valuation
Of course Bono would tell you it's a great investment...
This is speculation at its best. Clearly we have learned absolutely nothing from the housing bubble. Apparently you can create wealth out of thin air and people will trample over each other to come bail you out.
zionist circle jerk, rinse, repeat, profit.

I just bought some shares and at 32.9, the valuation is quite good.
The reason is facebook for sure is going to launch a program similar to adsense before end of this year. Zuckerberg can keep saying that he is not interested in making money, but at the end of the day every board will talk about shareholder value and eventually monetization will evolve.
In my opinion the current valuation is very good for short and medium term..

Apple is a nobrainer 6 months back. However .com stocks are good for short term, you just wait around for an announcement to be made, which happens regularly with .coms and profit the next day. however Apple is a long term stock... where the focus is not on profit but on wealth creation.
