I'd take that bet.

Ok... shall it be at the lofty amount of one federal reserve note?
Of course, there will be the added cost of a beer at the time of pay-up.

I'm much more interested in the beer. Winner's choice of brand. Payable at any future GSUS meet-up; I'm going to want draft.

U2's Bono to Become World's Richest Musician Today Due to Facebook (FB)


I am obliged by the laws of financial blogging to do a post somehow relating to Facebook (FB), and since almost every angle on Earth has been examined on this company, I thought I'll do a fun one. According to this story, Bono's PE firm – Elevation Partners owns 2.3% of the firm. I'm not sure what stake Bono has in Elevation Partners but the story assumes its 100%. If so, and the Facebook IPO does well today (cough), Bono apparently will pass Paul McCartney as the world's richest musician. So there you go, something maybe you have not read on another site re: "the IPO of the century!"

• The U2 singer owns 2.3 per cent of the shares in Facebook through his private equity firm, Elevation Partners, which they bought for $90 million (£57 million) in 2009 and now stands to make a handsome return.
• Given the social media company is currently valued at over $100billion (£63 billion), this makes Bono's share worth over $1.5 billion (£940 million) and puts him well above Paul McCartney, who is currently the world's richest rock star with a fortune of £665 million.

I travel around MA all the time.... sounds like a bet. Now, just to be sure, I am claiming that the price of FB will drop under $20 some time in the next 6 weeks. I know that is a mighty stretch suggesting some reality in its value, but I like to go against the flow.


High of FB today was $45.... closed at approx $38.23. At this rate I just need 3 more trading days.

Mark Zuckerberg saved $111m by selling Facebook shares before stock slumped

Friday 25 May 2012



The anger surrounding the sharp decline in the value of Facebook shares deepened yesterday when investors who have lost millions discovered that its founder apparently saved more than £110m by selling early.

Mark Zuckerberg, the social network's founder, sold shares in the company worth £720m on Friday, the day it floated on New York's Nasdaq stock market. But the price plummeted soon afterwards, from the $38 a share (£23.95) at which Mr Zuckerberg sold his stock. The price difference meant Mr Zuckerberg saved £111m by getting out early.

The shares closed at $32 on Wednesday, 15 per cent below the float price.

Some investors are now suing Facebook and the banks that organised its public listing for not revealing information about the firm's financial health prior to flotation. One of the lawsuits filed in New York by three investors alleges that the company's documents about its initial public offering, or IPO, included various statements that were not true.

A major point of contention is the claim that a "severe reduction in revenue growth" – linked to the growing numbers of users accessing the website on mobile phones rather than computers – was concealed.

Facebook, which is being sued as a company along with Mr Zuckerberg, other leading executives at the company and its lead underwriters – Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs – has denied the claims. Another lawsuit filed in California claims Facebook and its banks actively misled investors. The banks deny any wrongdoing.

However, the claim that Mr Zuckerberg was able to profit by selling his shares in the knowledge that the share value would likely decline, while others bought in without the benefit of the facts, has heightened the controversy.

It has even led to the term "Zucked" being coined to describe what happened to the investors who lost money.

The US Senate Banking Committee has announced it is to investigate the affair, after which its chairman, Senator Tim Johnson, will decide if public hearings should be held.

See if they can generate these kind of schemes off and on again during critical market junctures and election cycles,

they can adjust their dollar velocity charts to make it appear that market actually has some sort of intrinsic value.

[inilbowly]

Now at $40-42... bouncing around.

I say it goes to under $20 in less than 6 weeks.

The bet looks better and better now at $28 and something, just 2 weeks in... This should have quite a large effect on a few indexes...

/\ all these domains are taken. i wonder if Facebook did any defensive domain registering.

Quick tangent.....it wouldn't surprise me. When I was evaluating some hosted service providers I looked at a company called rackspace. After some review reading and a little whois searching I found the company rackspace owns the domain rackspacesucks. So, um, yeah - LOL! I would not be surprised in the least.

Keep the title as it is and allow Zuckerberg to keep his once rising fame. 25 handle ouch. They were up 2.5%+ early in the day.

even @ $25 the market cap is $55 Billion.

since the company has already grown like a cancer, any P/E ratio higher than 20 seems very unreasonable.

just as Zuckerberg stole the software to start Facebook, Facebook is vulnerable to another start-up, e.g. Instagram. they can't buy all the start-up's - and many tech entrepreneurs would want nothing to do with Zuckerberg.

$1 billion a year earnings x 20 = $20 Billion - a very optimistic market cap.

$9 stock price gives FaceBilk a $20B market cap - which is still very optimistic.

so FaceBilk might be a "bargain" at $4 a share.

They won't be able to earn a billion a year for long either. I'll give it a couple of years and they'll make a loss...

Zucker-iceberg could perhaps hock his Academy Award ?


my brother makes his living in web marketing/ PR/ social media/ web analytics. mostly working for Jews. he's a total Facebook advocate.

Facebook is like a cult - a cult run by Jews - the worst kind of cult.

[yarita]

Facebook is all about gathering info, so of course the Jewish folks want the goyim to input all their info into the database for free! Just like the Jews ran the Stasi, the NKVD, etc.
