No doubt I am. I'm not selling, but I have serious doubts.

It looks at twitter followers and has an algo to determine if the followers are fake (zero followers, no posts, etc)
Proof that 80% of @thehangovershot's followers are fake: http://imgur.com/s5KIlmd.jpg
What are the other restrictions to be listed besides pps?
The spent a lot of money on fake followers too.
Hmmm, lets see.
1) Invest 500k on marketing and fake followers
2) Drive stock up to .08
3) Sell $2M worth
4) Profit!
I made a small bet on the company. About 2% of what I normally trade, I could careless if it goes to zero. It was just a lottery ticket based on the movie licensing.
The more DD I do on these schmucks the more I realize this thing was a highly orchestrated pump n dump.
I'm just doing my part to call them out.
80% FAKE.

You're the only one on the board that's seen it. Klout doesn't mean jack. I have a higher score than HJOEs.
No one has seen the ad before the movie. NO ONE. They have the exact same number of fans on both accounts, which barely any engagement when they post. Which tells me they have fake followers that were paid for to make them look popular to investors.
When they are buying fake fans on Facebook and twitter, putting out fake PR about ads running in theaters, and claiming to be in thousands of stores yet no one can find them or watch their ads -- that's a pump n dump.
Slapped the ask at 2.43. Riding her up again, twice in one day!
They're not featuring sh*t. It's an ADVERTORIAL! A paid placement. Hell, even I can photoshop a two page ad and put it in that rag. Stop this ridiculous nonsense. We're all losing money on this pump n dump BS.
Hard to trust a guy who doesn't known the different between "their", "there", and "they're"
Rather wait 90 days with some cash, then to hold and not have anything. Worst comes to worst just pull your money and switch brokers. Even threatening that over the phone gets the restriction waived.
Got 10k shares on opening dip at 2.44, sold at 2.64 on the way up.
Queue Ice Cube.
Uh, except a Senator announcing a bill to wind down the GSEs... That'll do it everytime.
True reformation will come from winding down the goverment created companies and allowing the private market to underwrite mortgages... Almost everyone in DC agrees.
These are not traditional companies, they are government created... and they will be brought down by the government.
The whole process of banks selling bad mortgages to only 2 companies (fannie and Freddie who were created by the gov) caused the crash. Hence the need to reform the process and eliminate the gov created companies and allow the private markets to take over underwriting the mortgages.
I've done tons of DD here. Bring it.
If you're shorting...
It would be even more suicide to not reform the industry that caused the 2008 crash... If he lets it go unchanged and it crashed again The history books will say he never changed the industry the caused the 2nd largest crash in history...
Living in denial.
"Senator Corker is involved in meaningful conversations with his colleagues to develop a sustainable and pragmatic housing finance model that would finally resolve the GSEs, and he is hopeful that we can deal with this issue in the next few months," said Laura Herzog, a spokesperson from Corker’s office, in a written statement to HousingWire.

Because he believes it needs to be reformed...
I'm a newb and don't know who the hedge funds are on L2, hence I'm out. Who are the guys I should watch on L2?
I bought at .30 and sold profits and re-bought multiple times. The problem is that the GOP AND Obama want to wind down the GSEs and the GOP has the majority of the congress. With the new bill introduced yesterday this stock will start tanking. Just my opinion. I sold yesterday.
Highly volatile as congress in introducing a bill to wind down Fannie. Wouldn't touch this stock right now. You've been warned.
DST and other early investors lockup expired last week hence the sell off. This will bounce soon.
Trading from India on business. 7pm here :)
So Amazon is scammy? What about Apple? Scammy too? Google? Scammy? Give me a break. None of those companies has 2% of the user data targeting Facebook has.
All Facebook has to do is balance advertising revenue with user engagement, and SLOWLY show more ads (not flood more ads like MySpace did) and they will easily be doing 20B a year. Nothing scammy about that.
What's scammy about the most popular internet company in the world with the richest user data ever known to man?
1.12B monthly active users
660B DAILY active users
Hopefully that dip is real! I'd love to pick up some cheapies!
Yup starting to call bullsh*t on the 20M people seeing the ad in theaters. HAS ANYONE SEEN IT?
The commercial is on YouTube and is only 15 secs long. It was shown 2-4min before the movie.
Uh, you do realize she has over $821M in pre-IPO stock and received $26M stock bonus in March 2013 (of which she sold $4.5M this week). That's hardly "cashing out". I'd say $4.5M is a decent comp bonus for someone that took a company to 50b valuation...

You just proved my point. If they are using Facebook to login to other sites and apps then Facebook is more than a social network, it's a authentication/identity utility people use for everything. They have way too much invested into it just to leave it like MySpace. MySpace never had third party login or auth across 80% of the top 150 iOS apps. MySpace didnt diversify either and acquire their largest potential competitor (cough Instagram cough).
Just because you don't use it doesn't mean advertisers across the world won't pay big bucks to target those who do.
Oh, one more thing... You know all those Like buttons across the internet? Trojan horses to launch their own ad network off Facebook.com. Can you say Google Adsense? Add Facebook's ridiculously rich user data to target way and you got a true Adsense killer. Why do you think Google is scrambling for adoption with Google+? They see the writing on the wall...
Educate yourself as do your own DD.
Facebook is here for awhile and they are probe to be the largest ad network in the world.
600M daily active user serious. That's 2X the size of the US, and growing. Wait till they get unblocked in China.
Facebook has the richest user data in the world. They've barely turned on the monetization spiquet. They will continue posting larger and larger quarters until the naysayers are forced to realize that they are not than a social network, they are a global communication platform people can't live without.
What are you talking about? They're not losing members and Sheryl sold barely any shares...
Pop on open due to Barney Frank Letter... imo
