You and LL clearly don't get what people here are posting. I'm not bullish on FB but I like to believe I understand the valuation processes. I believe that the company is still VERY early in the process of monitizing their user base. Will they get it right? How soon will it show up in the numbers if they start showing traction? Are there new possibilities no one has on their radar that could change the company for the better or worse? There's a HUGE difference between trying to put a value on the company (and at what price the company becomes a worthy candidate on the long side) and being bullish on FB. I claimed that I believe the company is close to fair value at $18/share. Does that make me bullish? No. Can I find a way to "justify" a higher price. Sure. But I would wait until the next earnings release before I even think of buying at "fair value". I don't understand why when someone suggests that the company has long term possibilities, you instantly claim they're bullish? We understand why you focus on the negative. It's your position. Now try to understand what others here are doing as well!! Respectfully, TO
