Instagram speculatively worth $35 Billion....keep in mind FB purchased em for a Billi
- Thread starter Ohene
- Start date
I'm sure a portion of the offer was in shares anyways.
FB's stock has tripledsince then so it helps.
Synergy's are the point of acquisitions though. Who is to say that the founder of Instagram wouldve been able to direct so much traffic to IG himself without the use of FB's huge user base. He def sold early, but you cant blame him because that was at the start of this social media bubble. I dont think anybody wouldve forseen the valuations these companies are getting nowadays
the bubbles actually already began to burst a bit sicne 2013 with companies like Zynga, Groupon, Zillow, Angies List and Twitter getting murked in the marketsbubble

who's murking Twitter?
twitter to me is the best social media site we've had yet
Twitter to me fell off.
But from a valuation standpoint its been trash. I think it IPO'ed at about $40 a share...went up to like 80 and now is sitting around $35.
Truth be told most of these companies are overvalued except maybe FB. I wouldnt invest in any of them except Flipboard maybe when it IPOs lol. There is no way Twitter is worth 20-30 billion IMO. Especially with only about 1.5 billion in revenue and an R&D program that dwarfs all its profit making ability.

hmm..
I'm beginning my new job next year and I'm going to to start investing probably mid year
I'm pretty interested and like social media but it has an unpredictably and fickle factor about it
Have you made $ of stocks
I'm going to do it my self on e-trade or something, my cousin does it in and dude has no job and made 3k in a year, not bad lol
Made a lot investing in equities (Tesla, Amaya Gaming were my best picks). Lost more dabbling in options.
Starting my portfolio again in the new year. No more gambling in options though. Straight fundamental long term investing like I know how.
Zucks stay making bucks
