Lauren Harper asked a question

Has Facebook gotten too big for it's own good?

Or has it only just scratched the surface of it's potential?

The current sell price of the stock has nothing to do with the actual value of the company. It is based on FEELING. And right now the stock holders have a FEELING the ride is not over yet. Potential buyers have a FEELING it will be a good investment. How much longer will it last. That should be the question. When will the stock price peak. When will be the best time to sell off your shares and count your money. Like any Fad company or Great company (we are really not sure which one Facebook is yet) the actions of the current owners will determine if they thrive and grow or whither and die. You have to watch the strategic moves the current ownership makes and GUESS whether or not they make the correct choices on how to grow their business. At some point the COOLNESS of the company is going to go away and the younger generation will find another vehicle to hang out in and hide in, away from main stream media and parents. Just my opinion

Afraid FB is spreading their fingers too thin & they aren't focusing enough on the actual platform- leads to low quality @LDrogen #FocusRTFB
