my guess is a bunch of people have no idea what’s in their 401k, SEP, 701, etc. he probably has some FB in his investments (if he has any retirement accounts at all). so he’s probably laughing at himself too.
i bought BABA at 112.56 a long time ago. problem is i only bought 32 shares. my plan is to keep it forever and see what happens (i’m up 74% now). here’s a brief description…
“With operations in over 200 countries, Alibaba is the world’s largest retailer, one of the largest Internet and AI companies, one of the biggest venture capital firms, and one of the biggest investment corporations in the world. Its online sales and profits surpassed all US retailers (including Walmart, Amazon and eBay) combined since 2015. It has been expanding into the media industry, with revenues rising by triple percentage points year on year. It also orchestrated China’s Singles’ Day into the world’s biggest online and offline shopping day, with its own sales reaching over US$25.4 billion on 11 November 2017.”
Ummm… no. It was a political scandal.
Maybe libs will learn… traffic and revenue is not driven by the most followed.
Libs still want to argue about what would happen if Trump said goodbye to Twitter?
Nope. I’m still on FB and have no interest in being on any other social media sites. And I’m not on FB much anymore - really only on it to play Scrabble. But no one under the age of 45 is on FB anymore. Once their parents started using it - they were gone. It’s only “old folks” now.
LMAO… I noticed you didn’t return to the thread where you declared google searches are equal to twitter “traffic”… still waiting for you to explain how twitter earns it’s revenue… We told you what would happen if Trump left twitter… Shakira would move to #18… just behind CNN like Trump…
In the meantime, facebook employees will be drinking TAP WATER, my god man, think of the implications of drinking TAP WATER before going to their corporate massage therapist and heading home… It’s almost like torture…
I’m guessing that most people who “lost” $$ on FB today did so on paper only. Today it is still worth more than it was only 3 months ago. It’s a shocking plunge, to be sure, but an actual loss won’t happen unless the investor sells at the lower price. Three months from now I won’t be surprised to see FB nearing its old value.
I supposed I have some FB in one or more of the funds in my 401k. Unless a person is invested only in individual stocks (that are not FB) he probably owns some of just about everything.
I also don’t put much concern in the “political scandal” that Facebook seems to be embroiled in. “The Russians” did nothing different than what eBay does, or Amazon or SouthWest Airlines or any other company whose ads come up on your facebook page. Targeted marketing. You have cookies all over your device and predictable/trackable behaviors that let advertisers decide whether you are worth paying for to pump their ad on your page.
To be blunt, if you got some of the ads that the Russians were pumping, you might want to think about what makes you so attractive to the Russians.
And then the graph he posted showed a trend were google searches for “tweets” was trending upwards at the same time that searches for “Donald tweets” was trending downward
