    FB should have IPO last June when the market was in QE mode. It will cost them billions by trying to "time" the market.

    The internet consumer is highly efficient and has lots of options at their fingertips. They will use and use and not pay because they can go somewhere else where its cheaper or free. What is really going to keep people on pages where Facebook gets revenue for ads?

    Mark Cuban and Broadcast.com come to mind he got the gold mine everybody else got the shaft. Without a strong revenue stream especially in mobile we expect FB to follow (RENN) into the toilet over time.Remember MySpace it is dejavous all over again.APD
