Well guys, it will probably hit $20 by next week, so get ready to lose more money as it goes to $5. Let's all keep in mind earnings fell 12% last quarter. They just blew 1 billion dollars for an iPhone app. They are moving to mobile devices which will both cost money to develop and they will lose ad revenue. I honestly think the company is worthless.

 

Still looks better than LNKD, which has earnings of 16 cents a share but is trading at over $100..?

FB has earnings of 31 cents a share (double linkedin) and is trading at $30, which by comparison looks pretty solid.

Why people keep on insisting on looking at LinkedIn (still in middle of growth curve) on a P/E instead of a P/Sales is beyond me....social networks are inherently leverage-able and profitability scales. Since LI JUST became profitable, don't you think a better ratio to use would be Price to Revenue? If you look at that, FB is still trading at ~23x and LinkedIn is at ~16x.

So let me get this straight....a company that is in a very similar space to FB, but is more "professional" (more attractive to advertisers in long run), has a higher growth trajectory ahead of it AND sells their own premium services is trading at a huge discount to FB (even after FBs drop today and LNkD's rise)...I'll bet on LinkedIn to out perform FB all day here, even at these levels.

....just saying.

Disclosure: I'm Long LinkedIN, short FB until it hits high teens / low 20s...
