Apple makes more profit than all of Facebook's revenue times 3. Yet Apple stock goes down and Facebook, which has a price/revenue ratio that makes no sense whatsoever, goes up. Apple makes products people generally love, and Facebook makes money from ad and ad like things which people hate (and eventually will block). I really don't understand the stock market at all.

- aembleton 11y agoStock isn't bought just based upon last quarters profits, but on how much investors think can be derived in the long term. Facebook have done better than investors expected. Apple have done worse than investors expected. What makes you think people hate Facebook ads? Facebook ads are the only ones that I have ever clicked on, and then made a purchase. I think they are well targeted and very effective.
