  1. You may well turn out right that it is not black and white but, cactiman when it is this gray (at best) it seems that with so many fish in the sea it is not worth the look!!!

  2. But it's so much fun to Speculate about the Latest Fad!
    Anyway, still waiting for the Options to become available on the 29th.
    Will decide then about a possible SMALL longer term position, if the Expiration Dates go out far enough.
    This puppy could go sideways for quite a while, in a Gray Boring Non-Monetized Mist.....
    :p

  3. Well ... you clearly like the fundamentals. To me it's just a stck that has broken down technically. Good luck on the calls.

  4. Really, the sensible thing to do is wait for a while, let FB work the bugs out and find a low, and then try to Bottom Fish it.

    As to Speculation/Price Guessing:
    Who said $30? Who said $20?
    This guy's talking $13.80!

    MarketWatch:

    Facebook’s stock should trade for $13.80
    Commentary: Here’s a fair-price calculation for Facebook

    Since Facebook FB is most often compared to Google GOOG, let’s assume that its price-to-sales ratio in five years will be just as high as Google’s is currently: 5.51-to-1. You could argue that this is an overly generous assumption, of course. But it nevertheless means Facebook’s market cap in five years will be just $63.8 billion — 30% less than where it stands today.
    Assuming that the total number of its shares stays constant, that works out to a price per share of just $23.26 — in contrast to its recent closing price of $33.03.
    Ouch.
    Actually, however, the news is even worse: No one is going to invest in Facebook shares today if its price will be 30% lower in five years. So, in order to entice someone to invest in it today, Facebook needs to offer a handsome return. Assuming that its five-year return is equal to the stock market’s long-term average return of 11% annualized, Facebook shares currently would need to be trading at just $13.80.
    Double ouch.
    :D

  5. I think 20 years is overly generous.
