When you have a guy as smart as Eisenberg, who started this whole thing, you have to know that he has something up his sleeve to get this stock to a higher price. Remember when Apple and Jobs were down the tubes and so was their stock? Well today the stock became the most valuable in the world! More valuable than Microsoft was in 1999.
A person that has the IQ of Eisenberg, makes things happen. It may take some time like it did Jobs, but he WILL make something happen. you just have to have some faith and wait around a bit. Things will happen sooner or later. Just remember that the market hasn't reached it's full volatility yet Things will be great for FB in years to come!
With all due respect Bob, umm, not quite. I've read both books and have been following FB for a while now. Truth is mark Zuckerberg while being an extremely intelligent fellow, doesn't have the faintest clue on how to run a business, especially one the size that FB has become. This was the whole reason he originally had Eduard Savarin as chief business dude and that ended badly(he's the one who just renounced citizenship and move to malysia or somewhere). If it wasn't for Sean Parker to originally lead Zuckerberg through the sharks of the VC's, things would probably be much different right now because Parker had the experience of starting napster and was familiar with silicon valley.
Parker is gone now and its Zuckerberg all alone and he has an iron fist grip on control of this co and its either swim or sink with him as the leader. He has visions of what he wants FB to eventually end up being, if he gets there or not remains to be seen.
