2017 was bad? My FB stock doesn’t seem to think so.
- greggarious 9y agoBe sure to balance out your portfolio with some Uber and Blackberry
- sergiotapia 9y agoAlso make sure you invest heavily in Enron.
- trendia 9y agoAnd Tesla. Oh wait, too soon?
- ryandrake 9y agoDon't forget to diversify with some bitcoins
- ctrlaltdestroy 9y agoDiversify your digital currency with litecoin and other cryptocurrencies
- matte_black 9y agoI actually bought litecoins the other day. I want to point out you can invest in something that you think will end up giving a good return even if you personally disagree with what the company or security does. I'd love to be wrong on my investment and see Facebook crumble and society free from it's harmful influences, but if that doesn't happen, at least the money I get from it's ever rising stock price will give me some comfort for a while. It's a win-win scenario, and pre-empts me from taking any stance in favor or against Facebook, which actually has some present value for me.
- nck4222 9y agoAre rising stock prices always a sign of company health?
- edanm 9y agoOf course not. But they are a sign that professionals, who literally put their money on the line, think the company is getting more valuable.
- freehunter 9y agoI'm sure that Perdue Pharma is getting more valuable as the nation's opiod crisis worsens, too.
- mtgx 9y agoFacebook may become better at monetizing the remaining users, even as there is an exodus, and overall, it could show increasing profits and revenue. This would "excite investors" but it doesn't mean the company isn't screwed in the long term if things continue the way they are. The other guy joked about Blackberry, because even as the US and Canadian markets were dumping Blackberry, the company continued to see some nice growth overseas, which also led to record sales, profits and so on. But it was obvious Blackberry was fighting against time with the iPhone destroying its core markets. Most investors didn't see it at the time either, because they were just following the "positive quarterly results," much like Blackberry's leadership was.
- bgirard 9y ago> even as there is an exodus Citation?
- spyspy 9y agoIf you believe that investors don't look at non-revenue metrics like MAU you are sorely mistaken. In fact, it's almost all they care about in this category. Twitter's stock is in the toilet because their user growth has tapered, whereas Facebook continues to grow at a healthy clip.
