Earlier today I educated my readers and subscribers about the true reason Facebook paid $19 Billion for Whatsapp. There's more to this story, though. On December 12th, 2012 I warned "Real Numbers That Show Why Facebook's Ad Model Means Google Will Put It Out Of Business". In essence, I allege that the Facebook ad model is essentially a sham! 

Now, there are a few people who may disagree with me.  I can show you a bunch of videos that I made that support this assertion, or you can view this one below...

And... here's the inevitable "I told you so's"...

I made it clear that those who lost roughly half of their capital at or near the IPO price simply forfeited those funds from not reading BoomBustBlog, and this situation was virtually guaranteed. I felt so strongly about it that I made much of my opinion available for free this time.

Here's where I broke it down on Capital Account

I also happened to do the same on the Max Kesier show...

I discussed Facebook on the Peter Schiff radio show, the Facebook excerpt is below...

How the Facebook story got started...

Facebook started its institutional investment life as a very popular, very well known company. Goldman took this story (private) stock and went bananas with it, as meticulously illustrated in the following blog posts:

As the actual IPO arrived, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, etc. piled on the Bullshit, basically espousing how great an investment this was at $38, screaming that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Basically, they took the opposite stance of yours truly.
