Facebook just had the worst day in stock market history

I occasionally reply to a political post on F.B. I rarely make one. Typically I use it to communicate about events and fun things such as vaca stuff. And of course to brag about my kids. I do my politics on Hannity.

I never talk politics on FB and i unfriended a couple of in laws who refused to stop talking lib politics on there.

I check on my kids and friends and of course my grandaughter! :grin:

Young people aren’t on FB anymore. They left once their parents (us) started going on it.

Has nothing to do with politics or censoring anyone.

There is always the “popular” codias.com for conservatives… Think of it as a safe space for “conservative” ideas… warning, when I signed up and registered the security code they texted me was “0000” which is a little suspicious of the robustness of their site… I registered anyway but it kept asking to troll my contacts…

You obviously don’t know much about it. There’s more young people on than old I dare say.

Pretty big hit to revenues now that they are not pocketing rubles for ads…

I know that my kid (24) and his friends aren’t on it anymore. My friends tell me their kids aren’t on it anymore, and none of my cousin’s or sibling’s kids (ages 30-45ish) are on it anymore. They’re on Instagram.

My kids are all on it and their cousins as well. Youngest kid of mine is 26.

Correct, facebook seems to limited to an older crowd… Like a 71 year old congressman and a 28 year old Russian “student”… Now that the rubles have dried up for facebook ads, revenues have started to decline…

I don’t care for it but it’s still in obsessive use. This pull back was over done (25% down) on an earnings beat? I saw the guidance but still would bet in a month it will be back near 200.

Maybe it’s only liberal kids who’ve binned it.

That’s it. :wink:

How young? Believe it or not, some young people actually try to communicate with there parents and older co-workers. I have tons of FB friends who are 30ish. Teenagers? Not so much. But I’m fine with that.

Probably right. The only losers are those who sell now.

I lost a heck of a lot more temporarily(mutual funds) during the 2000 crash. Kept right on buying during the low.

My kid communicates with me by text and the occasional phone call.

I have a few younger FB friends (early 40’s) who are on it to post pictures of their young kids because that is what their parents are on. They post way more stuff on Instagram though.

Interesting, didn’t think folks might want it be apolitical. But I can see it, to keep its original purpose. I’m not a facebook user, no dog in this fight at all. Although I do have a barely used Facebook page somewhere.

YTD…

I found some kids walking around the neighborhood. Snapchat it is I guess.

After a day like today, I can’t help but consider FB a buying opportunity. Not sure if I will do it, but there’s no way I’m selling it unless something absolutely crazy happens in the next five years.

In the American populace:

Libs = 21%
Cons = 40%

How the hell did Trump win???
What happened when Dems turned against white working people???
What the hell happened when Facebook turned on Conservatives???

Same question, same answer.

Keep it up Proggie libs. Einstein weeps.
