Anyone Betting on Facebook?

those 1.5 billion [or so] shares coming unlocked in the next few months -
are they already calculated into the current EPS, PE and market capitalization?

thanks

As I posted yesterday, FB made an announcement on Sept 4th that Zuckerberg and two BOD members will not sell any shares for at least one year. So, the lock-up ending is not as big a deal. So far, Sept 4th marks the bottom. If it does hold, then you have your answer.
 
confused
it seemed clear to me,
but maybe i don't understand

looking at FB on Yahoo, at this moment Friday:
the Market Cap is 46.70 B
the PE is 75.43
the EPS is 0.29

are the 1.5 billion shares coming unlocked,
already included in those numbers?

does the EPS include those 1.5 Billion shares, or not?
if not,
it seems the EPS would go down some

I have a feeling nothing changes,
and they are already factored in, but...

thanks

The kid may be a scum bag (what he supposedly did to the Argentinian friend), he may have had a lot of good luck in the process but to believe he is "just a college kid that got enormously lucky" is simply crazy.

The "kid" has navigated many a minefield adroitly, built his fortune and may well end up running and controlling a very significant chunk of the future. NO ONE does that by being a lucky college kid. No matter what the future brings for him there is real talent, discipline, balls etc., etc., etc. that resides inside him. Hard not to sell it for a hundred million when they knock on your door. Hard to press a big bet after making a dozen passes knowing that things can always break bad.

Got to give him his props!

There is nothing of value in FB, just a college kid who got enormously lucky, that's it.

This is the only way i would bet on Facebook:

Citigroup (NYSE: CITI) has launched $1.1 million of auto-callable bonds
linked to Facebook's stock price. Each bond costs $1,000 and Citigroup pays
a 17% coupon, or interest rate, per year that's paid quarterly. If Facebook
shares rise above the price of $19.34, then investors get the principle
returned plus the coupon payment. If the price drops below that limit, then
investors only get the coupon payment.......

rest of the story coming soon
 
Must be 1.1 billion not million.

bought some FB yesterday closing, noticed it jumped in AH, bought more at the closing today, made the best trade this week.

bought 21 0.05 ~0.2. FB seems attractive to bottom pickers.

just luck. when the trend is well defined, play the contrary, not the obvious.

that works. initially I want to buy some puts of RIMM for the earning, but noticed it moved up from hiting the new low. that hold me off.
