facebook $100 billion IPO to be the largest ever

Quote:
Facebook is preparing itself for an IPO that could easily top $100 billion, according to a new report.

At $100 billion, Facebook?s impending IPO would be one of the largest in history, quadrupling Google?s $23 billion IPO in 2004.

Marketsmart is right IMHO. This thing has had "scam" written all over it since day one.

Look at the players involved and how they have handled this, there is nothing legit about any of it. It's pretty obvious if you do a few minutes of homework.

I anxiously want to see their S1 and financial statements. I couldn't be more convinced this is a massive pump and dump stock.

Lots of folks are going to get hurt with that Facebook IPO. Many years from now, history will refer to the next few years as, "The great social networking bubble."

bottom line is a company needs assets that will appreciate or a way to generate revenue,

facebook's asset is it's customer base. it's not really gona grow much - they have everyone. total market penitration. no where really to go there in 1st world countries.

revenue to my understanding hasn't been great via advertising.


so for the stock to go up (not artificially in a buyer's frenzy)- the assets have to rise or revenue has to go up.

that means they have to start charging for stuff - mind you if facebook starts a premium section much like the tubes have - the revenue would be enormous. limit the amount of pictures or videos you can post or limit their size or clarity unless you pay - something like that would generate HUGE revenue. it's an ace in the hole they haven't' played yet.

funny - from day one I get the sense facebook isn't really out to screw everyone....... not everything always about money - creating something, building SOMETHING, counts too. Some people want to make a difference.....

For those who don't know, it's a quote from the movie Wallstreet.
