DON'T BUY

Stock price indicates a mountain of unhappy shareholders. You want to find companies with strong business fundamentals along with price behaviour that support your view. Looking at their subscriber base and opportunities they have a bright future but you have to balance that off against the shareholder base that is largely unhappy. He would prefer to see a significant turn in the share price before he bought.

DON'T BUY

Depends on what price it is when the earnings start to become more material. Even at the current price, the multiple is still way too high. It’s probably in the area of 30 or 40 times this year’s earnings.

SELL

Will go down as one of the stock swindles of all times. Not a great business. Anyone can create an app and once people move to you, FB has to buy you. Wouldn’t touch it.

WAIT

You should get a bounce about $21.48 and he thinks it will be a big up bounce. Don’t buy it here. A dangerous stock to trade. It needs to churn away for a while.

DON'T BUY

Very expensive as opposed to Apple (AAPL-Q) as regards price to fundamentals. Maybe they have a great future, but a lot of it is priced into the stock.

SELL

For the long-term? Social media is very tricky and is priced for perfection. Someone else could come out with a similar product and then it would be game over. Likes to see companies with earnings, dividends and good balance sheets. This company is so nascent it is hard to tell what it is. Expect this stock will trade down.

DON'T BUY

Thinks they have some wonderful opportunities. His question is, is the user base too mature to make a fairly dramatic move from a social/personal vehicle to one that is involved with commerce.

SELL

(Market Call Minute) Sell on valuation.

DON'T BUY

He is not hitting the ‘like’ button. A number of law suits leading up the failure of an IPO. A rich valuation. Looking for a dividend and reasonable valuation and this thing is screaming money loss. If you look at Yahoo and Alatavista and what they were valued at way back, it could be a buy some day but how do you know what it is worth?

WEAK BUY

It has staying power, nearly a billion people using it. People may become a little disenchanted with it. There may be a new and better alternative that comes out.

WATCH

Option volume today is second only to Apple. He just took a position of avoiding and watching. 100 times earnings. A lot of growth baked into that valuation. Google is 10 or 11 times earnings. And a better way to play this. It’s hard to short based on valuation alone.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't think this is quite the business that everybody says it is. Very expensive valuation for a company that makes very little money. There aren't a lot of barriers to entry in this business.

COMMENT

How long after a stock’s IPO does technical analysis begin to apply? If you are a very short-term trader, a week could give you some patterns but he doesn't trade in that kind of time frame. His typical space is 3-6 months at a time. He needs a minimum of one year before he starts looking at a chart.
