The real question is, at what price would you buy their stock. Surely if it was $.01 for 1% of facebook we would all buy.
Is there a place we can get financial data for facebook?
- brosephius 16y agoaccording to some recent techcrunch posts about FB stock trading on secondmarket.com, it's about valued at about $25 billion. but they noted that FB has stopped letting new employees sell their stock, so the valuation is potentially inflated by lack of supply.
- eraad 16y agoI agree, it's most likely it won't be any close to Google's if that's what people is thinking. In fact, social content is hard to monetize due to privacy concerns, thus IMHO Facebook is lacking of a clear long-term business model other than advertising. Google's investment in Zynga doesn't help that much either. They have taken the right path targeting developers but I don't seem to understand where that is going. So my answer is no, I wouldn't buy Facebook stock, except for speculation purposes.
- notahacker 16y agodifferences in CTR not withstanding, advertising worked pretty well as a long term business model for Google... Facebook barely scratched the surface of the advertising potential so far - targeted paid ads in streams, a recommendation engine and beating Foursquare et al at the location game are all feasible and likely to be more lucrative than their current rather passive sidebar ads.
