I never said it won't or can't. My point was that the stock market is not always rational and nothing goes down or up in a straight line. So there are plenty of opportunities to trade something in both ways. GRPN is a piece of shit company with a failed business model but it regularly makes 20% jumps up and down. As long as you are not blinded by the light and you know what you are doing, it is perfectly fine to be long both stocks... By the way I have just read that in April, FB had 158 million individual visitors. Much less than the well advertised 900 million users...
June 26, 2012 SouthAmerica: Here is Facebook's current activity by country. Facebook is definitely a US$ 3 to US$ 5 billion market cap company - and above that it's only hype and nothing else. Visitors by Country for Facebook.com Country - Percent of Visitors United States = 22.1% India = 7.5% Germany = 4.2% Brazil = 4.0% Italy = 3.4% United Kingdom 3.4% Japan = 3.3% Mexico = 3.0% France = 3.0% Spain = 2.4% Indonesia = 2.2% Canada = 2.1% Turkey = 1.8% Russia = 1.5% Argentina = 1.4% Taiwan = 1.4% Egypt = 1.3% Australia = 1.3% Pakistan = 1.2% South Korea = 1.1% Thailand = 1.1% Poland = 1.1% Netherlands = 1.0% Saudi Arabia = 0.9% Malaysia = 0.9% Nigeria = 0.8% South Africa 0.8% Venezuela = 0.8% Philippines = 0.8% Colombia = 0.8% Greece = 0.7% Belgium = 0.6% Peru = 0.6% Sweden = 0.6% Chile = 0.6% Algeria = 0.6% Austria = 0.5% Portugal = 0.5% Bangladesh = 0.5% Romania = 0.5% Others = balance Total = 100.0% .
Haha. You see? South America YOU are one the one gambling You think because you can write 10 pages that it actually means anything Your opinion about investing and the 20 pages of sheep following you mean nothing You make more money shorting on the way down buying on the way up. You make money buying FB for two weeks already. For all I know All time low already set. That 45/share level can break then what? If FB goes to 75 this thread your calling FB a ponzi scheme helps NOBODY.... Or it does go to single digits, I dont care. But I am prepared to trade this both ways while you HOPE it goes to single digits You call yourself an "investor" the number one rule is no HOPING and guessing Short it. Tell me your price.. South America.
June 27, 2012 SouthAmerica: I wouldn't touch the Facebook stock even with a ten-foot pole. It seems to me that we have more fools in Wall Street playing the Facebook stock game than I had realized. There's only one explanation for the amount of trading that is going on related to the Facebook stock: Today over 70 percent of the trading is generated by high frequency trading - it is like the lights are on but there's nobody home. At the end of the day Facebook is just an empty shell, and they are playing desperate games to generate more action at Facebook - for example: They changed everybody's actual email account, and replaced it with a new Facebook email account. Most people who use Facebook has not realized as yet, that Facebook changed their contact information without letting people know that they did it. Here is how you fix your information inside Facebook: Yahoo News â June 25, 2012 Facebook just changed your default email without your consent: hereâs how to opt out http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technol...ault-email-without-consent-opt-191146629.html People looking at your Facebook profile will no longer see your real off-site email unless you act You'd be forgiven for not knowing that_Facebook has an external_email system built in to_the site's familiar messaging system. After all, few of us have need for yet another email address. And given the way Facebook_algorithms decide to hide messages that the site doesn't believe is important, we're absolutely terrified of losing important messages. The fact that you're not using that_Facebook email address appears to have led to Facebook trying to figure out new ways to push you to the system. So, they've taken action by forcibly changing your contact email_address listed on your Facebook page from your actual address that you regularly check to [your.name.here]@facebook.com â or worse, [random number]@facebook.com. What does this mean? Well, if your high school sweetheart finds you on Facebook and wants to contact you, they'll have to do it on Facebook â there's no external option. There's nothing opt-in about this change, and there was no notification about it either: Facebook just decided to swap out emails to try to get people to use their cobwebbed email system. Thankfully,_you take a few simple steps to restore your old, non-Facebook email address. Start by visiting your profile page and clicking on "About" to bring up, amongst other things, your contact info. Click the edit button on the "Contact Info" section, which should bring up a list of all the email addresses Facebook has on file for you, including your new facebook-domained email address. Left click_on the open circle_to the right of your.name.here@facebook.com and choose the "Hidden from Timeline" closed circle. Then pick which email address you'd prefer folks to contact you at, and change that closed "Hidden from Timeline" circle to an open "Shown on Timeline"_circle. Simple as that! .
June 28, 2012 SouthAmerica: The scam artists and their hype are back to keep the fools and suckers going.... Today, June 28, 2012 the Financial Times (UK) had an article âFacebook predicted to rally as big banks begin coverageâ, and the article said: âThe start of coverage by JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs yesterday marked the end of a 40-day âquiet periodâ on views from analysts affiliated with last month's offering.â I am not surprised to see that the scam artists came back with their usual bullshit forecasts as follows: âJP Morgan issued the most bullish forecast of the main underwriters of the deal and set a price target of $ 45 for the end of 2013 and a âbuyâ rating... Morgan Stanley issued a 12-month price target precisely in line with its initial public offering debut of $ 38 and a âbuyâ rating... Goldman Sachs set a $ 42 12-month price target and a âbuyâ rating for the shares. As we can see the scam artists are all back in the game with their usual garbage.... The article ended by saying: âThe most pessimistic forecasts came from analysts at BMO Capital Markets who gave Facebook a $ 25 price target and a âsellâ rating.â Basically, the only honest forecast was given by the independent source BMO Capital Markets who gave Facebook a $ 25 price target and a âsellâ rating.â Eventually given enough time Facebook will trade in the single digits. ***** Facebook Changed Everyone's Email to @Facebook.com; Here's How to Fix It â June 25, 2012 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ahaKDaWWN5A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ***** Facebook Quietly Swaps Email Displays on Profiles â June 26, 2012 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EVowZeMAwLM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ***** CrossTalk: Facebook Timeline Tyranny <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y2m6oSD6ptw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> If you haven't been timelined yet, you eventually will be! Why can't Facebook let its users choose their page layout? Why is Timeline enforced on hundreds of millions of users? What is Timeline -- a perfect way to present one's biography or a way to get to know the dirty laundry of someone who hasn't cleaned his/her page yet? Does Facebook violate people's privacy, and should anyone who chooses to register on the website put up with any Facebook's initiative? CT-ing with Roman Karachinsky, Anita Ramasastry and Terry Carney. .
Mr. Zuckerberg has picked up some pretty strange bedfellows. I suspect they made Mr. Zuckerberg an offer he couldn't refuse. Imagine a world in which billionaire mobsters virtually own the internet and all the personal information it can provide.
July 7, 2012 SouthAmerica: I just checked my email, and one of the emails was a âDeath threatâ contract against my life....and you can read it at: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3567747#post3567747 .
Over the years I received various death threats because of my articles and web postings, but this is the second death threat I have received in the last few months.
July 9, 2012 SouthAmerica: Facebook rallied today following news that the social-networking giant is planning on launching a jobs posting board. That must be a real good business to get in in the imploding global job market environment that we have today, and a job market that it will get even worse in the coming years. Probably it would be easier for Facebook to takeover Monster Worldwide, Inc. (MWW)-NYSE (current market cap around $ 900 million US dollars) than to start it from scratch. http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=...on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined Anyway, Facebook has a lot of money on hand that they got from the fools and suckers who invested money on their IPO - and now Facebook can start to "Piss It All Away" as fast as they can in all kinds of shit. .
