Would you invest in FACEBOOK IPO?

Quote from Renegen:

I don't know why Facebook didn't sell out when they had the chance, now the growth period is over. What do they expect, to charge everyone 50 cents for each profile they view?

I'm talking to my friends and they're dropping their account, for various reasons. At first they're blinded by the positives, then the negatives arrive. Think about the sexual offenders on MySpace, you think anyone cared 2 years ago? Now it has become a critical item to handle for MySpace. These social networking sites are NOT perfect and require a big commitment. Sure IPO might work, but maybe it's also a bit too late.

Wrong again

I know how trends work

I know how wallstreet favors smarty companies

and sex predetors aren't a big deal. Myspace shows no sign of slowing in spite of a few rotten apples.

Webvan was losing shitloads of money due to its huge infastructire

Facebook is very profitable

I know how this stuff works

I know how these internet companies work.
 
Quote from stock_trad3r:

A facebook Ipo would be a goldmine for early investors

Like picking money off a tree

If it gets bought out it would be for a 60% premium at least.

The stock may surge 250% on it's IPO

They already talked about these social networking sites being overvalued just like the dotcoms of the late 90's. Myspace is the leader in this area, who knows how long it can continue, but when it does fade you will be holding shares at a nice loss if it were to ever go public.
 
even linkedin is looking yo go public.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Armed with a bevy of new managers from top Silicon Valley firms and explosively growing revenues, business networking site LinkedIn Corp. is gearing up to become one of the first big post-dotcom Internet IPOs.

LinkedIn, a buttoned-down sort of MySpace or Facebook for the corporate professional set, has seen its membership double to nearly 12 million users over the past nine months, Chief Executive Dan Nye told Reuters in an interview. It makes money from subscriptions, advertising and fees from job recruiters.

What's your specific background with internet companies? Do/did you work in the industry?
 
I'm not an industry insider, but I've been following internet related/web2.0 industry for awhile. I also run a few popular websites myself.

yeah the internet/web 2.0 industry is strong right now. I don't think most people realize internet ad spending surpassed the .com bubble highs a couple years ago and its still growing at a steady pace.

By the way stock_trad3r, what websites do you run?
