$225 is roughly 34.7% increase from $167 good luck with that in this environment even, yes, even if everything stayed the same before the Cambridge Analytica scandle, fines, rising costs, etc

2013 revenue growth to 2017 is roughly 416% (unsustainable)
2013 costs of goods sold to 2017 is a rise of nearly 209% and costs are going to RISE SUBSTANTIALLY

R&D costs have really increased from 2013-2017- 445% and that number is going to go bananas with everything they have to deal with now

2013 rev growth to 2017 is roughly 476% (also unsustainable)

so fro 2013-2017 the growth has been astronomical, I cannot argue with that, its COMMITTING NEW MONEY TO THIS NAME after all that and what's to come, in terms of logical financial/investment sense, it really is not worth the risk. and NO DIVIDEND while rates rise, get it?

they have 8 billion in cash as of 2017 annual data, that number will take a hit with fines, possible regulation, etc

18 billion in Goodwill is kind of a joke just like GE's goodwill

I can buy AAPL, IBM, JNJ, PG, CL, and so many others with DIVIDEND and way more safety, FB is not investable until it heads back to Earth ($120-$138)

this stock is still currently priced for absolute perfection in this new normal, actually, normal because last 7 years has been easiest money every made for most companies due to FED policy.
