Facebook's bubble has burst shares drop 50 percent

Sahit Muja: Facebook's bubble has burst shares drop 50 percent.
The investors who bought the Facebook hype must now suffer a fool’s disgrace as they watch their favorite IPO go from $38 dollars a share to $19.05, down 50 percent.

It likely to go much lower. Facebook It is a company that desperately needs a vision and plan for how to leverage its users and crank up the revenue engine.
It is clear CEO Mark Zuckerberg  don't have one. Facebook probably need a new CEO, but I can't imagine Zuckerberg giving up that chair.

I give  Mark Zuckerberg  credit. He created a $10 billion business, and that is no small feat. Unfortunately, he tried to sell it as a $100 billion business.
The social networking bubble has burst. Zynga, Groupon, facebook stocks have been suffering and dealing with market reality.
My prediction of $10 is on target but My guess was not too difficult. If ad revenues continue to falter and  investors  jump off ship, as it is already happening, the the new low will head to $9 a share.
Facebook failures were numerous: 

Failed to see apps advertising revenues. Their new strategy of loading ads down the apps pipeline assure developer loyalty and revenue shares with FB but possibly to slow to implement causing further erosion in stock value.
Facebook failures to buy Skype a great multinational advertising platform and chose Instagram a no revenue, no plan company.

Facebook was too focused on bells and whistles and not revenue generators.
Facebook need a new improved business model, but the more serious issue is the declining revenues.
Facebook Reports Q1 2012 Earnings; $1.05 Billion in Revenue, $205 Million in Profit.  Facebook Q2 of 2012, it brought in $1.18 billion in revenue.

Facebook Inc., seeking as much as $96 billion in its initial public offering

Sahit Muja: Facebook Inc., seeking as much as $96 billion in its initial public offering next week, is overvalued at that price, according to a Bloomberg investor poll.

Underscoring concerns that growth may taper for the world's biggest social network, 79 percent of respondents in the Bloomberg Global Poll of 1,253 investors, analysts and traders who are Bloomberg subscribers said Facebook doesn't deserve a valuation so high.

While Facebook's communication and photo-sharing tools have helped it amass 900 million users, the Menlo Park, California- based company may be vulnerable to startups that can win over Web surfers with new, competing social media sites. At the high end of a projected range of $28 to $35 a share, Facebook would be valued at 99 times its earnings, a higher multiple than 99 percent of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

"It's overvalued at that price," said Filippo Garbarino, who oversees $50 million at Frontwave Capital Ltd. in Chiasso, Switzerland. "Investors are becoming more selective and there are quite a few fallen angels around, like Netflix. Those who buy Facebook at these levels are more speculators than investors."

Facebook, co-founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 in a Harvard University dorm room, seeks a valuation at 24 times revenue, compared with 5 times for Google Inc.

Sahit Muja: Yahoo sues Facebook alleging that Facebook violated 10 patents.

"We're disappointed that Yahoo, a longtime business partner of Facebook and a company that has substantially benefited from its association with Facebook, has decided to resort to litigation," he said.

In an emailed statement, Yahoo said it is confident it will prevail.
"Unfortunately, the matter with Facebook remains unresolved and we are compelled to seek redress in federal court,"  Yahoo said in a statement.
