Scott,
I understand what your driving at here regarding Eduardo,but I was more interested in what you think about the Michele Bachman controversy.
She gave up her Swiss Passport because of the uproar she had to face in DC.
I thought she was dumb.
But then her Hubby still has a Swiss Passport,so for sure he can take her back to Switzerland in case of an emergency!!!
If History has taught us anything,its always a Good option to have an escape route in case things don't go according to plan.

Ashish.

Yes I guess Zuck is really broke. He only has a spare few hundred million in liquid net worth. LOL!
I still think te Eduardo saga is ridiculous. Renouncing citizenship on the country that made you rich, all in order to dodge some taxes.

Nobody seems to be clicking the like button over the new controversy that the Zuckerberg wedding has ignited: The size and provenance of THE RING! Is it too small? Is it a natural Burmese "blood" ruby (so named because of conflict in the region, not color)? If so, did MZ break the law to buy it? If not, is it a treated stone, and therefore less valuable?
Cause for another class action suit perhaps--disappointed brides blaming Facebook for their downscaled bling?

Street Smarts,
Interesting.
I was pretty sure,Insane Valuations in Social Networking were Harming the Capital Markets just not just sure which area.
Thanks for sharing.
My feeling is they still wont learn.
Why is that?
They invest before an IPO,not afterwards.A significant number of them exit the Company at the IPO stage(rather than Hold onto the Stock);but then maybe they thought FB was different...
If so,Wait till FB hits 20 Dollars,Thats when they will learn.
Regards
Ashish.

Noreen,
What matters more to Investors is not Total number of Users,rather Total Number of Paying Users.
So even if they do open it up to everyone below the age of 18 ,I am not sure how Current Valuations will still be sustainable.

Scott,
The important thing is How much Cash does he Have on Hand today(which is not tied up in FB Stock)?
Its one thing saying he a Billionaire,but if all his Wealth is just tied up in the stock that makes it very doubtful,After all that Stock Valuation(which is 16% Down today) could go Down even more over the next month or so.
Ok I got some numbers,Mark Zuckberg Personally sold 30 Million shares in the IPO,to raise USD 1.14 Billion.Apparently most of it will go towards paying his Tax Bill!!! Leaving very little spare.
As for the case of Eduardo Saverin-Its not like he is going to exit the US Scot-Free,he will most Definitely be Paying Exit Taxes(close to 700 million USD),if I remember correctly.
But at the end of the day,its his decision what he wishes to do with his Money and His Life.If chooses to spend it elsewhere,You can't stop Him.
Unless you are prepared to implement Full Capital controls.
Regards
Ashish.

Let them Start Paying Dividends First.Then Call Me.

Scott,
How about asking them to pay an Annual Dividend of say 25- 50 cents First?
Let the Company Demonstrate a decent enough History of Reliably Rewarding Shareholders through Dividends,then I might get interested.
They claim to have 3Billion Cash on their Balance Sheet,so instituting a Small Dividend as a Policy of Rewarding Shareholders should'nt be a Bad Idea right?
You can keep rest of the cash for all your planned expansion projects(incl.Buying Opera Web Browser).
The moment I start seeing a Regular Dividend Paying History,I get interested,everything else is just Vaporware.
Regards
Ashish.
