The business world is littered with the corpses of .com companies that went bust...........only a very few have actually made a go of it. I can’t see FB being a good long term investment. If someone who bought it didn’t make any money on it today, they probably won’t............
The business world is littered with corpses period. 4 out of 5 non-restaurant businesses go under in the first 5 years (restaurants it’s even worse).
FB has 900 MILLION users world wide. 3 entire Americas. Even if they do start to falter it’ll take a long time for that to unwind. They’re at least a good midterm investment. Between advertising and game cash they actually get a pretty decent chunk of change per user. They have at least as good a revenue stream as google did when they IPOed.
