Henry Blodget: DETAILED Analysis - Where Should Facebook Be Trading Now?

Henry Blodget: DETAILED Analysis - Where Should Facebook Be Trading Now?

Mark Zuckerberg Investor Letter?

On the eve of Facebook’s IPO, Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg published the following letter to potential investors:

Dear Potential Investor:

For years, you’ve wasted your time on Facebook. Now here’s your chance to make money out of it with a solid investment.

Tomorrow is Facebook’s IPO, and I know what some of you are thinking. How will Facebook be any different from the dot-com bubble of the early 2000’s?

For one thing, those bad dot-com stocks were all speculation and hype, and weren’t based on real businesses. Facebook, on the other hand, is based on a solid foundation of cute sheep from imaginary farms.

Second, Facebook is the most successful social network in the world, enabling millions to share information of no interest with people they barely know.

Third, every time someone clicks on a Facebook ad, Facebook makes money. And while no one would ever do this on purpose, millions have done it by mistake while drunk. You know, if 0.1% of 1 billion people are drunk every day that's 1 million people generating us profit.

With your help, if all goes as planned tomorrow, Facebook’s IPO will net $100 billion. To put that number in context, it would take JP Morgan four or five trades to lose that much money.

One last thing: what will, I, Mark Zuckerberg, do with the $18 billion I’m expected to earn from Facebook’s IPO? Well, I’m considering marrying my long time girlfriend at last. I hope she accepts! :)

Friend me,

Mark
