Facebook Stock

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9571]

Someone a few weeks ago posts a video showing a graffiti artist that is now worth $200M in value after Zuckerburg paid this guy in Facebook stocks after painting a mural on a wall for him. Some tramp was going to give him a blow job every day for life. That video. I got the idea from that video to invest in something like Facebook. If Zuckerburg paid this guy $60K worth of stocks and he is now worth $200M in value, is it something worth looking into? I mean I’m no fan of Facebook or any other social media site, except YouTube, but I am into wanting to make some s~~~load of money.

So question, would Facebook be something to look into as far as stock investing goes? I mean if it can make that artist hundreds of millions of dollars from a few thousand in starting value, then what the hell? I don’t know if it’s worth it, or risky. One thing to know about me is I’m more of a cautious person than a risk taker.

I might have touched it at $40 after the initial dip. But not at +100. Not now. But don’t listen to me. I bought some oil at $80 thinking it was a good buy. (Im not the only one either) but sold pretty quickly after it just kept dipping. Glad I did too.

Facebook is “vapor”. It’s a “fashionable” thing and it’s not tangible.

If you’re more cautious than risky, consider VISA. It keeps going up steady even though recessions. America loves debt for some reason. The chart on that stock is a solid uphill and steady climb. Quite remarkable compared to anything else.

But don’t ever listen to anyone else or make a purchase decision based on what someone else says. Especially that f~~~head Jim Cramer. He’s a contrarian indicator. If he loves it… sell that s~~~. If he hates it … buy. Every time he hated on Apple, it went up. When he loved it, it went down. Dude’s a f~~~ing slime ball.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

So what you’re suggesting is invest in charge card companies and not on social media? I would of thought social media would of been good because a third of the world’s population is on it, and major companies use it for advertisements.

I’m surprised your oil stock did poorly, because we all need oil and gas. I always kept thinking oil companies would always be liquid golden. I mean I saw a video of a guy from a show called Cool Pools, he runs his own oil company, and he had this incredible pool built in the back of his mansion which looked something out of a Flintstones resort. It was a grotto-pool and just his waterfall alone was $600,000. So I always was yet to believe that oil companies and oil stock were always the investment targets.

By the way, who is this Jim Cramer guy, and why does he hate it when companies and stock do so well? He sounds like a liberal-leftist that hates success.

I just don’t like the idea of buying twitter or facebook stock. I would look at 3D printer stocks before that for dozens more good reasons. Plus, to make the same 200% return it would have to go from $100 to $300. There are definitely other opportunities out there.

I stress again, I don’t “know”. Im just speculating, and thats’ what it’s all about.

Well it was! But oil has sunk to $30 a barrel now. And you know what they say “when there’s blood in the streets… buy property”. Meaning, if the s~~~ is scary cheap, it may be a good buy.

MAY be.

There are those who would say oil has had it’s day with electric cars on every street now and all of that. Then there are those who think it will go to $300 a barrel again one day. Nobody KNOWs for sure.

Natural gas took a BIG hit and is so cheap to produce now with new methods of drilling. It’s not the same as before and pennies compared to $14 per unit it was 8 years ago.

But these are commodities which is different than investing in companies.
One hurricane can greatly impact the price of sugar, so you have to be careful there.

He’s a financial “tv personality” on ESPN money. I think his show is called “Mad money with Jim Cramer”. Haven’t paid any attention to him in years. Some early apple investors will tell you about his contrarian indications with that. The point is to buy low and sell high. “Short or long”.. if you know what that means. You always want to “buy low , sell high”… but Jim Cramer used to recommend Apple at highs and recommend selling at lows. Some say he’s a puppet designed to mislead investors.

The market works on “fear” for many sheeple. So when a stock takes a dip, you have these assholes who try to “scare you into selling” which is a real thing they do. They want your shares as cheap as they can get them. Then they pump and & dump it high. It’s actually called that: “pump and dump”.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

If you lived through the post 2000 .com crash, you would know that investing in websites is never a good idea. All you are really buying is the reputation of the company, if its ever superseded or replaced (i.e. MySpace), then all those stocks become confetti!

The only company I would invest in, which runs a website, is one that has a tangible product behind it. Now one can argue that Facebook does have a tangible asset it can profit on, that being the personal information of its users that it can sell to telemarketing, market research and demographic census companies. However I don’t believe in profiting off the identity of strangers, just for signing up to a website.

I’ve always liked physical commodities like gold and silver. Sure there have been ups and downs over the years but I remember lining up to buy gold when it was around forty five dollars an ounce thinking at the time that gold is money. I still think that today, and when fiat currency does fail, physical commodities will prosper. My take anyway.

I was thinking MySpace as well since it was practically the same thing as Facebook, but you beat me to it. Sooner or later Facebook is going to get replaced by the next big thing and its value will tank since it essentially doesn’t create any physical product or have any patents on any type of ground breaking technology or process that has some marketable value. I wouldn’t touch Facebook with a ten foot pole.

Facebook’s all time low was a little under 20 a share…even if the guy got stock at the low of lows it would only be 5-6x his money…certainly a nice return for a 2 year period but you’d be looking at like 325k…not 200m…quite a difference there. Simple fact with the stock market…if you think you are going to turn 60k into 200m, your going to have to buy some very risky stock, and odds are you’ll turn your 60k into an amount much smaller than 60k, not 200m.

Ultimately I just look at it like consistently hitting singles is going to score you more runs than swinging for the fence and striking out most of the time. I don’t know what is going to happen in the market any more than the next guy, I generally just watch dividend paying companies and buy in on dips. If I time it bad no problem…I just have some money locked up collecting me a 3-5% dividend that otherwise would have been sitting in a savings account earning me .01%. If I time it right maybe I can make 10-20% over a few months or benefit from a dividend increases on something I plan on holding long term. You gotta remember…the average yearly long term market return is about 7-9%(which becomes pretty f~~~ing huge compounded over multiple years)…planning on making 200%+ on short term trades isn’t something anyone can do with enough consistency to make it worthwhile.
