The stock's gone down 30% from its IPO price. Most people couldn't short it then, but if you did, you would've had a nice return, as I predicted. It still has room to fall. It's $25-26 now, I see $20 tops within a year from now.

The main reason why facebook isn't going to go up in value is that there just aren't that many real users. I'd estimate roughly 2/3rds of the accounts are clone accounts (multiple accounts). Sort of like how on the first page of the okcupid thread people talk about making 10 to 20 accounts of hot chick females who like star wars, and then respond to all of the guys with one word answers, while they try to game the genuine hot women, but worse.

Some of the guys in serious guilds that play mafia wars and other games have dozens or even hundreds of cloned facebook accounts(use a free email site like hushmail to set up the account) and play them all as gaming accounts all day. I think facebook as a stock is severely overvalued because there aren't as many real users as they are telling their shareholders, for all of the reasons I just said. In 5 years, it may very well be like the graveyard that myspace is now.

I wish i jumped into the IPO right away.

The IPO was at $39 if I recall correctly which began falling from day one. I wouldn't have bought at the IPO although I wish I had jumped onto Facebook's stock when it plummeted down below $20 a share.
