Today was a great example of how strong PHOT's management really is and the power of the LONGS here. Facebook has had the same type news and people saying things. PHOT has done a great job addressing odd things said and has gone back to work creating things and moving the market forward. Be low is another example how this things happen and one can paugh them off and like, PHOT, just move forward. LONG and STRONG PHOT. Great stable action today during a market that is experiencing what PHOT went through the last few weeks.

After a controversial academic paper predicted the demise of Facebook, the social network has responded with a satirical prediction of the destruction of Princeton University.

On Wednesday, websites were buzzing about a provocative research paper by two Princeton graduate students that said social media sites like Facebook usually follow the same growth and decline patterns of infectious disease outbreaks.

A Facebook spokesman told The Wall Street Journal the paper, which relied on Google search query data, was “nonsense.”

On Thursday, Facebook went a step further with its own mock academic research. “Princeton will have only half its current enrollment by 2018, and by 2021 it will have no students at all,” wrote Mike Develin, a data scientist at Facebook.

Develin said he analyzed various data points, including the percentage of queries on Google Scholar matching the query “Princeton.” Develin’s research showed the percentage had dropped dramatically since 2000, an “alarming” number, he wrote.

“In keeping with the scientific principle ‘correlation equals causation,’ our research unequivocally demonstrated that Princeton may be in danger of disappearing entirely,” Develin wrote.

The paper authors could not immediately be reached.

Facebook’s posting Thursday ends on an ominous note. “While we are concerned for Princeton University, we are even more concerned about the fate of the planet–Google Trends for “air” have also been declining steadily, and our projections show that by the year 2060 there will be no air left.”
