Facebook Financials leaked...

[RocksteadyDotNet]

With that kind of money you'd think Zuckerburg would get a good looking girlfriend.

I dont care how much of an asshole he is, he'd be able to get a white girl.





You again. Do you ever learn?

You have been warned and infracted and vacationed multiple times already for racist postings.

Your last vacation for racism was for a week this time two weeks off.

wow, they make a lot more than companies that made actual products!

 

[OlafSicky]

So why are they worth 100 B?

 

[KK]

callout thread. You do know Zuck's a member here, don't you?

 

[z0mb13]

why wow?

Hmm yeah I don't really understand why they want to go IPO? If their financials is already like that they can just a bit of leverage and can get a much nicer equity return.

Perhaps the employees are pushing to "cash out"

Oh yes and there is that 50 shareholder limit thing by the SEC

Its 500 shareholders. And they may be over that, depending on how the SEC counts shareholders. I believe that issue is before the SEC. Thats why they are going to do an IPO. Plus I think quite a few want to cash out some shares.

They have zero debt because they used mostly equity financing and not debt financing to grow the company.

People still don't know this?

1) Data Mining. If you use Facebook, they know more about you than your mother.

2) ???

3) Profit!

This really sounds like an episode of South Park to most.

The Wall Street model.

1) Wall Street says IPO makes hte most sense because it provides the most in commissions to Wall Street insiders

2) Idiots at Facebook think Wall Street knows more about Facebook than facebook does.

3) Wall Street pumps the IPO

4) IPO occurs and on same day Wall Street dumps stock on idiots

5) Hopefully the smart ones at Facebook sold on Day 1

6) suckers that bought get slaughtered.



Bottom line, if this company is so healthy why do they need money?

LOL at the linked article within that one. They call this a mansion?
http://gawker.com/5798947/mark-zuckerberg-upgrades-to-his-biggest-mansion-yet

Seriously? It's price tag may be staggering, but to call that a mansion is drama and hype at it's best. In many places between the coasts that would be worth 1/10th that cost. Hell, I live in a 5000 sq/ft home that only cost $340k to build.

His place isn't a mansion...this is a mansion:

THIS is a mansion.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

operating cash flow is $1 billion.

Whoever thinks this is a $100 billion company is a fucking moron.

 

[vi edit]

THIS is a mansion.

While true, the one I linked is actually about half the price of the Zuck is assumed to have bought. I was trying to keep it somewhat comparable if not even less. There were a lot on that site I could have linked to that were several multiples more expensive.

But yeah...that's a hell of a view. And house.

 

[KaOTiK]

THIS is a mansion.

Isn't that Ironman's house?

 

[nboy22]

My thoughts exactly, especially when those articles came out valuing it at 60 billion. There's no way in hell it's worth that much.

 

[LegendKiller]

BS looks a bit funny. With $0 debt A = E, yet there's a $1.1bn hole. As far as a $100bn company, it all depends on your terminal value and the growth rate you used to get to the T-1 period. Personally, I'd be very interested in seeing the assumptions.

 

[Newbian]

Stupid question, how in the hell do they make money?

They take the pictures of the nudes people pm each other and sell them to porn sites.

 

[halik]

Heh the kid has no actual money, certain investment bank spotted him an unsecured loan for the house in hopes of future wealth management and underwriting relationships.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the numbers end up total bullshit, pushed by someone that's hoping to offload some private stock on one of those websites.

 

[halik]

Just to add,

at $1Bn operating income, you're essentially baking in 10% constant cashflow growth if you're pricing at $100Bn. (Using google's wacc)

 

[SKORPI0]

Yet another reason I don't visit/post anything in my FB page anymore. All I do, all I say is hi/hello/keep in touch via email.

Right. Zuckerberg himself could just make up some random numbers, forward them to a media outlet using a fake email account, wallah.

Dude, have you been to Palo Alto?

I know you're better than this.

They also make a shit ton off games.

Shit they take 30% off the top of Zynga's revenues more or less. Same with other game developers on Facebook. Surprisingly a bunch of people spend money on that shit.

Reportedly, Facebook is set to make $400million off of Zynga this year alone. Keep in mind they aren't really doing shit to earn this money.

shit, man.

shit is shit.

Here's how it works, asian chicks flock to white guys.

From the leaked personal pics, he still looks like a down to earth guy..
Kudos to him to achieve something this big..
Mad props

Which is very much achievable if you look at their growth trajectory
