I continue to maintain that Facebook (FB) is probably the best SHORT out there. For the reasons outlined here, Why Short Sellers Should Drool All Over Facebook And also here, Is Facebook (FB) Cooking “Likes”…..Again?
As a quick update, I have witnessed FAKE likes/views on my dead page skyrocket about 5X over the last few weeks. Listen, I don’t have anything against Facebook. Just pointing out the fact that they are insanely overvalued while cooking their internal viewership and interaction metrics. Metrics quite a few people depend on to value the company.
Further, Marc Andreessen sells $96.5M in Facebook stock (half his stake). Does he know something other investors don’t?
Finally, consider the video below. I have to admit, I cannot verify the information in this video. However, if true, it points to what I have suggested above. Facebook is cutting major corners in their attempts to increase “eyeballs”, interactions and add revenue. That only works until it doesn’t. Just ask MySpace and many others.
