All-Star Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 14077 Location: Ontario	#15 Posted: 2/13/2012 1:22:47 PM I doubt fb will fade away. The advertisers need a social networking market like this one to thrive so companies can continue to reach their targeted markets, and fb makes it so easy for these advertisers to reach their desired markets. Fb will likely be the gold standard of social media for at least a few years just as google has been propped up as the gold standard search engine. But will fb be around in 2020 I highly doubt it. IMO, don't buy now, wait for the initial spike and fall back to happen, then you'll get a much more reasonable price for long term holdings if the stock still looks profitable once the dust settles. As much as people are more and more becoming anti Facebook the reality is they have the social network market dominated for the next few years.

Captain Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 9418 Location: Pitcairn	#16 Posted: 2/13/2012 1:30:10 PM Am torn on it... I suspect you will see an early bump similar to Caesar's. The financials were actually stronger than I anticipated. Problem for Facebook is they are in bed almost totally with Zynga. Also its hard to get cash out of that site without charging or flooding the site with ads. Is this company a 100 billion dollar company? no way in hell...the potential is there...but will it be realized? I'd rather have MCD as its a much stronger long term company. Might be a company to hit at the open...dump and then wait for lower figures. Still haven't decided though. Welcome to the discussion Waste Management

Captain Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 9313 Location: United States	#21 Posted: 5/9/2012 11:54:43 AM I think facebook is a buy. They have already bought instagram and facebook has the single largest advertising reach of any company in the world. Google+ thought they could compete with Facebook but it has really gone nowhere. They are now advertising on tv to get people to sign up for Google+. Twitter is different from Facebook so that does not really affect facebook. All the information and everything they ahve collected since its beginning is invaluable (as someone already said). I have a gut feeling facebook has something up its sleeve that they will release in the next few years that makes it take off like google and apple.

Captain Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 9418 Location: Pitcairn	#24 Posted: 5/10/2012 8:51:16 PM Facebook doesn't have alot of room to grow user wise...if anything you will see a decline in use. They do have alot of ad potential but keep in mind its just that...potential. The big ad companies have been disappointed with feedback involving facebook ads... they have no idea of whether they work or not. The key to Facebook sticking around is how they utilize the potential. They have the users now...they need to be generating mass revenue to be valued like Exxon and McDonalds. I think they should charge $1 a month or a full year for $10....that alone would bring in 500 million to 1 billion in revenue. Zynga might be the better buy at 8... if Facebook explodes its hard to not see Zynga running up as well.
