SouthAmerica: Thanks for the info.
I already had contacted the FBI and gave them this information just in case.
I usually don't pay attention to the "death threats" that I receive. In the last 6 years I received 4 other "death threats" in 4 different occasions.
If this one was a real death threat then it would have been the 5th time, and the first time that I received it by email.
The first time was in response to what I wrote about the Iraq war. The second time was in response of what I wrote about Pakistan and their nuclear weapons. The 3rd time I have no idea why the writer of the death threat was pissed about regarding my articles and postings in the web. The 4th time was related to what I write about certain companies in the USA.
I don't have time to waste with this type of stuff, and I don't worry about it.

In a nutshell:
Here is the picture of senator Robert Acevedo in a hospital bed after the drug traffickers put 40 bullets on his car killing the two security people who were with the senator.

I wasn't passing judgement, just pointing out the email in question read like a "typical email scam/hoax" and piqued my interest.
No doubt you speak your mind and may have "ruffled a few feathers" in the past with your controversial topics. One can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs...

Are you still holding your investment in Facebook stock?
Are you going to ride this stock all the way down to single digits?

SouthAmerica: Today, to be realistic and optimistic at the same time, because of future potential for the Facebook stock - then this stock should be trading in the range of US$ 5 to US$ 7 per share.

More questions for Facebook
Is Facebook Inc. a $7 stock?
http://articles.marketwatch.com/201...ook-phone-mark-zuckerberg-people-use-facebook
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) â Is Facebook Inc. a $7 stock?
Thatâs what at least one pundit on TV was ranting about Thursday, saying the opportunity for growth is over and that the company is already stable and the stock should be $7.
...The assumption is made by investors and analysts that Facebook has not maximized its potential. But what if it has? This is the key to understanding why the company maintains a trailing P/E of around 60 when it shows no such sign of serious growth. Itâs actually an established company and should have a trailing P/E of 10 to 15.
This makes the stock price logically well below $10.

SouthAmerica: Why buy Facebook for $ 19 per share if you would be able to buy the same stock for around $ 6 per share in the near future?
For over 6 months I have been saying that Facebook is a single digit stock in the range of $ 5 to $ 7 per share.
I wonder why anyone would be surprised that Facebook was all along a single digit stock?

SouthAmerica: I don't understand the psychology and the way of thinking of people who still are holding the stock of Facebook at US$ 18 per share?
Why many of these people are not selling it today, before that stock is trading in the US$ 5 - US$ 7 per share in the coming months?
Why people don't cut their losses today, instead of riding the stock all the way to single digit and losing even more?
What it has been happening with the Facebook stock even before its IPO - it is an important case study that shows to the world that Wall Street is a big playground for fools and suckers.....
