FB stock is so volatile, it's giving me motion sickness.

- Volatile? It has been floating steady around $26-28 dollars almost a year.utopian
- a 7% fluctuation over the last few months is the opposite of volatilemonospaced
- Moving from 14 to 28 just this month alone is too volatile for mepinkfloyd
- Oops, actually read the chart wrongpinkfloyd

Where do you guys see apple going in the near term? It's been on a rally the past few days with the bonds and buyback news. On the other hand, they said they won't release any new products til fall, and showed a lower outlook for the next quarter. Good time to buy now, or you think it will dip this summer?
- I see it staying where it is for a long ass time.monospaced
- it was a good time to buy their bonds, but that was a one-day sale: http://www.insidermo…spot13

Wall Street is predicting that Facebook's stock price will below the $20- per share by summer ends. Facebook will continue it's slow downward death spiral.

Facebook is going the MySpace route, though its death will be much slower.
It's going to be a stronghold among the 40-something house fraus who want to compete on the number of children they've bred and the thread count of their sheets.
Otherwise, it will be a wasteland.

I don't see them going anywhere unless they are really smart about spending cash (and spend it, unlike Apple, that you aren't sure what they could spend cash on that would help them).
FB's problem, vs. Google, is that they are a one trick pony. If they can't lock people into their site forever, then they die. They need to show they can create something exciting, or at least buy something exciting.
Everyone I know is anxiously waiting for the next thing...could be nothing, could be Google+ (they've got the staying power, diversity, etc., to weather the storm and wait it out), or a new start up.
It's all interesting. We have a dot com-ish resurgence of ideas, but this time there is real money being made.
As for stocks, I'd never buy a one trick pony unless you were truly speculating and gambling. Google, or even Apple, to me, are far better investments (or the gamut of other tech companies that have a track record and real products/services).
If FB fails at their next "launch" (Home, so far, is a huge failure, so far as ATT dropping that stupid Home Phone), then they'll go down, a lot. If they are successful, there will probably be a nice blip, then level back off once the excitement is out. I could see it doubling in a week, but also going to single digits in a week.
