Facebooks valuation came from daily users because Wall Street has no idea how to value social media companies. Anyone who opened Facebook at any time in the day is considered a daily user which is why they bombard people with notifications. The were overvalued from the start.
Facebook also bought Instagram before they went public with boosted their valuation which ended up being false because as everyone soon found out. Facebook didn't know how to make money. Which is why it started talking.

Pinterest has minimal advertising and hasn't even started branching out. They won't catch the Facebook group of apps because no one knows if they want to buy other apps but they can easily catch the original Facebook.

Facebook offers better and longer engagement with a much broader audience globally and better returns for advertisers.
Facebook literally influences elections ( See US and Brasil )

Pinterest is garbo on all fronts besides fashion/branding etc



Lyft increased its expected IPO share price range to between $70 and $72 per share in a new filing Wednesday. The company previously expected to price its shares between $62 and $68.


I can finally cash in my block of shares :wow:

That Facebook influencing politics is going to blow up on them. Which is why countries don't want to allow them in.Facebook is also losing the younger generation. WhatsApp and Instagram is whats going to keep them in it. Pinterest is an informational website that doesn't really have the younger generation. All they have is upside if they do get them.

I said earlier in here that Wall St has no real way to value tech companies. Never buy a tech IPO it's always going to be overvalued then drop like a rock. Look at all the new era tech companies like Dropbox, Facebook, and Snapchat.

Also anytime a company goes public, the original venture capitalist who invested in it when it was private finally get a return on their investment and almost immediately pull out at the high point. They'll usually have enough stake in a company to cause a downswing of the price when they do that. One of the reasons that the rich stay rich and the poor think the stock market is a rip-off.

The more you know.

Tradeweb (TW) goes public today at $24- $26. TW operates electronic marketplaces and helps asset managers, central banks and institutional investors get the liquidity they need through a range of electronic marketplaces.

Gonna watch this for a couple weeks might be a good long term play.

This may be a buy if it keeps dropping.
