FB is being slammed. I think they are becoming too big too fast, too many big price acquisitions within short periods.

You are forgetting that in FB the product is the FB user, too many changes too fast could disenfranchise them plus Oculus fans( didn't even know such a company existed) are furious that FB bought off their company. The genesis of a downward spiral, if things are left unchecked.

I've been tracking this firm - Uber though yet to float stocks in the market. Very interesting biz concept. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

This concept is being introduced in major US cities, another company doing the same thing is Lyft. I personally don't think its a viable idea, just coz most people already have their own cars, plus there are a lot of substitutes. Why pay $25 for a personalized taxi service, which is really what this is, when I can catch the bus for $3. The people I can see this working for is people who drank a lot after a nightout and teenagers, who will try anything coz they have a lot of disposable cash.

That argument does not hold water.In US there are a lot of people with disposable cash.

Hisah, thanks for the heads up on KNDI, up 26% for the day, coz they sold 4000 parts of something, not quite sure what but pleasant surprise. Here's to hoping the Silicone Valley pushes it to Tesla heights!

Facebook seems to have peaked imho, and Google is eating Facebook's lunch.
If I had the means I would buy Apple, the Bawse of the American Techs. Been on a tear since splitting 1:7 a couple of months ago, Low p/e ratio, high EPS, great dividends for a tech company etc.
Compare FB, AAPL, MSFT, GOOG

Why isn't anyone talking about the Alibaba IPO? The buzz that its generating Stateside is amazing, there are a lot of people who will be shaved mercilessly when it lists, ofcourse the Investment banks and private investors will make a kill! Fingers crossed it tanks like FB at the outset, that would be a great wave to ride!

Everywhere I look quite a number of exchanges are at crazy elevation levels. The most bizarre is BSE monthly chart with an RSI reading of 93?!
Many sellers markets globally at the moment. I have been selling out where I feel value metrics are overstretched. Been quite a while since I held 40% cash.

I think Alibaba is a much bigger deal than FB, simply because of China!
Hisah the S&P is at almost 2000 level, just five years ago it was at 800 levels, don't fight the market! I don't think its a sellers market, I think some stocks are buy while most are holds, for the longterm. Back to Alibaba, I think it will be a buy a couple of weeks after IPO when the excitement dies down or hopefully they have a botched IPO. I just found out that Yahoo owns 22% of the stock, so another alternative is to hope tech stocks crash ( hopefully your doom news of market crash come to pass), that would be the perfect time to get in.

Every analyst is saying it's bigger than FB so you don't have to think!

FB bearish and likely to fall past $60 handle. GOOG bearish too. Target $500 MSFT target $40 AAPL target $90 TSLA forming a H&S pattern. Yikes! $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Interesting discussion up there...Uber lyft are here to stay the taxi/cab business is going through an overhaul. FB seems to have to outdone the competition - the social part of google cant match up and twitter is in turmoil if the sacking of the 4 execs is anything to go by. http://investor.fb.com/r...ail.cfm?ReleaseID=952040"There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore
