The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
The time of the .com boom has long past and yet this seems like a throwback to those times.
They don't produce a profit like other businesses do and in perspective these share prices are absolutely obsene. Seems to be the owners of facebook are cashing in at the height of facebook popularity and when your sitting on a couple of billion there's little you need to care about.
Three things will happen in the next few months:
1) Facebook share price will plumet.
2) Facebook will offer benefits to shareholders which integrate into their accounts to compensate for the expected low dividend.
3) Facebook will increase advertising dramatically or add microtransaction charges for games, groups, posts and more.
Dont know much about stocks, but my take on this is simply that social networking sites come and go. There are so many new innovations when it comes to this area, that FB is on thin ice imo. Look how fast twitter grew? What will be the next site? If you had invested in FB a few years ago it could have made you some money, but now i think its too late

Maybe they are, but the valuation of 38$ was set by brokerage firms, not by Joe Blow picking up a couple of shares.
That's your opinion, but this is an absolutely unique case in terms of IPOs. I really don't know how I'd value you them, but I think their to date profits don't really matter at all. It's about the next ten years, not the last ten.

Facebooks popularity is declining, a lot of people are closing their accounts... it will be the next myspace in terms of falling off the face of the earth.
Theres not much room for growth when over 900 million people use facebook... unless we start handing out computers and internet to people who live in the Amazon.
It's all speculation idd, but what they've done now is basically that they've maxed out the potenial future value of FB, there is little space for the share to be a worthy investment as it is now.
It's quite fun to if you compare it to Giants such as Apple and Google as well, then the share price really becomes baffling.
It doesn't really matter though, what matters is if they can make as much profit from it as the share price suggest, that is what will decide the actual value of the investment. Of course it helps to have as many users as possible.

Yeah I was just referring to user growth,I think that they have many options to grow financially, information is valuable afterall, having close to a billion peoples likes and dislikes would be great to sell to companies so they can maximize their profits by catering to what people like on facebook without having to revert to more ads.
All of these tech companies trading at 100-200+ times earnings are going to lead us straight into another .com crash.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
I now own part of FACEBOOK!
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nope, I will not buy shares because FB is on the way out, Twitter is reigning supreme ATM, with G+ following behind. Social sites will continue on their current cycle.
This is sad when I read things like this, even if personal finance might bore you most of it is fairly simple. For most people, trying to buy individual stocks is a poor decision (how would you buy 100 shares of AAPL, which is valued at ~$533? Not to mention the risk of having a narrow portfolio) and unless you're a high net-worth investor, you probably won't be getting in on buying individual stocks or IPOs like Facebook. The worst thing you can probably do with your money is sit on it, because you're missing out on the returns you can gain and you're losing against inflation. A diversified, index stock mutual fund would be your best choice. You'll put your money to work without having to scour through market data every second of every day. Look for long-term gains. Don't buy into get-rich schemes; the odds of beating the market are not in your favor.
investopedia.com, marketwatch.com, just a couple places to start reading.
Right, the price is basically the present value of future expected dividends and the sentiment is that it's been overvalued, so buying now is more speculation than investment. Facebook's future growth probably won't be from an expanding user base, but from new applications and services.
Facebook is slowly going to destroy itself because they are under pressure from wall street to generate increasing amounts of profit each year and to do this they are setting up the micro-transactions like the ones they are testing in New Zealand. I think this will put people off big time and eventually they may close their accounts. Only time will tell
