Someone who longed calls on Apple in the beginning of the year. Lucky ducky.
 
Hindsight is 20/20 ;)

I will short FB. I will wait one week for all of the insanity to die down. I will then short it hard.

...and then I will earn 30% returns a month for the rest of my life. :ROFLMAO:
 
Knowing this, how many of you will go long FB when it is public and expect this type of return on a 10 year window?

I bought Apple stock in 2007 with my internship money. I did it because Apple makes products people want, and they do it better than any other company. FB makes money because it has everyone locked in, but in the long-term that's not a winning proposition. I don't know very many people who like FB for any reason other than network effects, which will eventually die out if they continue putting out a bad product.

Incidentally, I would short Samsung's TV business if I could. Their public statements about what people want in a TV are so off the mark. I bought my first HDTV a few months ago (it's a Samsung), and the UI is awful. I'll be paying a lot more attention to the UI the next time I buy a TV. If other people feel the same way, Apple will eat into Samsung's TV market share very quickly.

Really? Short FB? I feel bad for you. I am Bullish on FB for now. No real competitor in the space and Google+ is lagging big time.
Invest with me, because you will lose on your short.
