I thot u meant FB was up 26%. Until FB figures out a way of monetizing mobile app traffic, they'll experience the Nokia & Microsoft mobile tie up flop. FB has a lot of free cash, but their rushed acquisitions don't send a cool message to deep pocket investors. So far PIMCO & Buffet have voted it a no go zone. Just hoping you dont get trapped in it like britank. Or do u want another shorting bet with me again like last year with britank

Acquisitions is the most realistic growth strategy and every ambitious company out there will tell you that you cannot fill a $1 billion gap through internal growth, I do not believe a company can be competitive unless they can compete aggressively and every knowledgeable investor know facebook will have to make key acquisitions to boost their revenue. Even for Apple to be what it is now, acquisitions played a key role.
Any I can see your point, facebook need to find ways to make money with the resources it already has but remember that the missing pussle could come from acquisition. But again we do not need to even argue here, Facebook have great management and I am sure they have gone through millions of senerious, so hold on.
I have never played in Kenyan Markets so Britank and last year short selling I guess I wasn't part of it, I even do not commment on Kenyan equities because I do not have enough knowledge about it.
