Tomorrow will be hectic and everything that happened in the a.h. today will be history, if we open higher all the a.h. sellers will rush back in or they will be very sorry they sold.
Regardless of what was said, advertisers will continue to spend big or they will lose out to there competitors, and FB eps will continue to multiplie, looking ahead to another blowout earnings report in the 4th qtr, stock price will explode to the kupside.
Hoping that the drop in stock price today and last 4 days does not signal a leak that news will be bad, probably I should not have said that, we have to trust that earnings announcement in a few hours will be secret.
I have been saying all along that $.18 would be satisfying and represent solid growth, if accompanied by positive guidance the stock price will jump forward, obviously anything above $.18 would be great.
Recent decline in stock price is all part of the consolidation needed before next advance which will be triggered by earnings
report this coming Wednesday after market closes, conference calls to executives of Facebook will follow and hopefully will contain very positive news for future earnings.
Could be the consolidation period is over and stock price is now continuing its uptrend towards $60.
On the website Facebook is reporting GAAP e.p.s. of $.13 for the 2nd qtr, I believe this is the figure you have to go by., if I am correct then $.18 for the 3rd qtr would be satisfying.
Seems to be confusion on what 2nd qtr earnings was, you say $.19, I read it was $.13, then I saw $.17, anyone know what it should be?
If stock price does not go up today and in the next few days it is nothing to worry about, it will be good to consolidate before the next advance to $60, have to be patient.
$.18 would not be much better then the $.17 reported in the 2nd qtr., I am looking at $.21 e.p.s. and the possibility of another nice surprise.
If WSJ is estimating $.18, that is very low, I heard estimates as high as $.25 for third quarter, I am estimating $.21. The way the stock price is acting earnings will comme in on the high side, news may be leaking out. Ten more days to go for an announcement, and if Mark and Sheryl tell positive news going forward the stock price will once again surge forward all obviously in my opinion.
it would just delay our drinks and celebration!
Glad you are buying cocktails if f.b. goes to $200, the only thing preventing that is a general market crash, and with our do nothing Congress, it could happen, that is my fear!
Article in my local paper compares Facebook to Google and says Google p.e. ratio is 28, and FB is 237, alluding to Google being cheap and FB very expensive, very misleading, it is using trailing earning to calculate p.e., and fb had a loss in one of the quarters. If you are using p.e. ratio to predict market price movement you should take into account present and future earnings, f.b. e.p.s. is growing 50% quarter to quarter and if it continues to surprise with earnings then $54.22 is very cheap.
don't forget that drink in the Cayman Islands when stock hits $200, k perhaps we can arrange it when it goes over $100, but you are buying.
stock is continuing to run up today, it wants to duplicate the percentage rise of Google, Google is good for us.
Remember before this latest huge advance in stock price we rested for 3 to 4 days and consolidated a bit, we have to do that again beginning on Monday, then we can move on to $60 and wait for another earnings surprise on Oct 30, then on to $75 by Dec. 1.
Up over $1 in after hour trading, someone knows something!
Its a deal
two weeks to earnings announcement, we could be close to $60 before the announcement, if there is another pleasant surprise then stock will bust past $60 to $65, especially if Mark and Sheryl give positive forward guidance, then get out your pencils and project 4th qtr earnings, they could be better then all projections, on to $100 stock price., lets all meet somewhere and have a drink together, we will be able to afford it , hopefully you have all held on to your stock.
Less then 3 weeks for earnings announcement, that will be the next catalyst for upward price movement, have to be patient.
recent price action suggests stock is consolidating once again before next upswing, a strong general
I think we could go over $100 after 4th qtr earnings are announced, provided 4th qtr e.p.s. is again much better then the analysts are predicting, so my timetable for $100 per share is around Feb. 2014.
no deal on that since I believe in miracles and it would be a miracle if Facebook stock goes over $100 before Dec 31, 2013, you would be talking about a 100% gain in 3 months.
now, now, lets not get nasty, there is enough business out there to keep Twitter and Facebook both happy.
$100 per share before 2014?, that also means before Dec 31, 2013 which is in three months, wow that is optimistic!, I will celebrate with you if we get to $75.
getting out after earnings release does not seem like the thing to do, after break out earnings are released the fun will begin.
Did I hear someone who posts here say he heard 3rd qtr earnings will disappoint?, sounds like someone who is short, the price action today does not sound like earnings will disappoint.
$.26 would surely be a blowout and bring the stock price to close to $60, but I would settle for $.22, then $.27 in the 4th qtr., slow and steady growth.
Everything is pointing to great earnings and more important future earnings, I am buying more stock.
This sideway moving is healthy for the stock, staying between $50 and $51 and establishing a resting place before it moves up prior to earnings announcement.
Strange that Sheryl is listed as one of the largest individuals holding stock and Mark is not. Recently FB stock went up when the general market was down, lets see what happens on Monday.
not really, I can see $1.23 in year 2014 and $1.88 year 2015, you have to look ahead when pricing a stock.
I now project $.21 for 3rd qtr, $.27 for 4th, and $.76 for year
you are right, I got it wrong, have to revise my projections
qtr one, $.09; qtr two, $.13;,qtr three $.18;, qtr four $.24, total $.64, these numbers will make wall street and investors very happy, if they come in higher the stock price will soar from here!
no, e.p.s. $.64 for the year is what I am estimating, very hard to estimate year 2014 e.p.s. at this time, any estimate could be far away from the actual.
the e.p.s. I posted are conservative, they could be more explosive.
$.18 e.p.s. 3rd qtr, and $.24 4th qtr, $.64 for the year.
you keep hearing that the stock price is overvalued and due for a big fall, but do the math, when 3rd quarter earnings are announced on Oct 22 and they shock wall street again like 2nd quarter earning did and you know 4th quarter earnings will again shock the analysts, then you have to figure there is a lot or room to advance the stock price, perhaps to $75 by year end.
