Morgan Stanley Predicts YouTube to Be a $20B Business
- Zenst 13y agoThis is the same Morgan Stanley that values Facebook at $100bn. If anything I'd say they have undervalued YouTube, but who cares what Morgan Stanley thinks after the amount of mess ups they have impossed upon the public. I sure don't and with that I don't think I could ever trust them with anything to do with money ever again.
- josh2600 13y agoFB may yet be a $100bn company, if they can figure out intent and search. They've got lots of time and no Rupert Murdoch to run them into the ground. I wouldn't bet against them (although I wouldn't bet on them right now either).

- joonix 13y agoWhat is the point of these "valuations?" It's credible to say that YouTube might be a relic in 2020. How many web companies have a lifespan of 14 years?
