Like your blog, Steven. And your FB take...to expand on it a bit..."Being rich and being famous" don't necessarily lead to becoming richer.

Great blog, Facebook’s IPO price was not truly ludicrous–it was just extremely expensive. The market values Apple, a proven company, at only 10X 2013 estimated earnings per share. Meanwhile, at the IPO price, the market valued Facebook at about 65X consensus 2013 estimated earnings per share. That is extremely expensive.

Sometime back, Zuckerberg had contemplated cashing in on Facebook, and I bet, if it were today, he would warmly welcome bids. However, that time is long gone, and since then he has curbed a very ambitious vision for the company. Maybe that will help. We’ll see how quickly he can learn financial economics. Take care.

With an ENORMOUS consumer user base creating even scarier amounts of big data, and considering that its model revolves around revenue derived from targeted, personalized ads, the inevitable pressure to beat financial projections in the public markets leaves our personal data in a precarious position. Everyone needs to realize that the quickest way to big quarterly gains is a straight line to selling our private data to marketers.

You were spot on about the value of Facebook IPO. Since your post, it has lost about $35 Billion in value as shares dipped below $29. Are you a trader? Cheers. Mark

You’ve really got an intelligent blog, would you rent ad space (for a banner ad) for my site?

The biggest problem Facebook faces is the deceleration of its revenue. The market doesn't like deceleration, especially when a company's profit margins are already as high as Facebook's. At a 50% operating margin, Facebook's profit margin is likely to go down not up. So Facebook's earnings are only likely to grow at Facebook's revenue growth rate--or slower.

extremely interresting post about paid advertizing but what we need is something that combines the raw statistical power that many people spend hours compiling in various spread sheets or with online tools merged with the simplicity of a plugin that stays tucked away and hidden.

I like your post, concise and accurate. Notice the stock did not trade well on it’s first day of trading, curious to know if you think it will pick up in the next few weeks.
