THE NEXT BIG TRADE IDEA™

A JOHN CHALEKSON NEWSLETTER

$FB

TNBTI 7/8/13

FACEBOOK HAS SIGNIFICANT DOWNSIDE RISK AHEAD

$FB FACEBOOK SHORT SELL $24.50

OUR PRICE TARGET $30 BILLION MARKET CAP ($12.25 PER SHARE OR LOWER) 

FACEBOOK IS CURRENTLY COMMANDING A $60 BILLION DOLLAR VALUATION, ONLY TO BE SUPPORTED BY VERY POOR FUNDAMENTALS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS TECH ‘GIANT’ IS RUNNING OUT OF STEAM AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW. CURRENTLY THE STOCK IS IN A DOWNTREND, AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE REASON FOR IT TO BE HOLDING UP AT THE VALUATION IT IS AT.

A SLOW DOWNDRIFT?
INSIDER SALES: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=FB+Insider+Transactions
TECHNICALLY THE STOCK LOOKS LIKE ITS STARTING TO ROLL OVER.

AT 60 BILLION MARKET CAP, THERES A LOT OF SHARES IN THE FLOAT AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR IT TO MOVE UPWARD.

RELATIVE STRENGTH HAS BEEN DIMINISHING. IT APPEARS THAT THE UPSIDE IS LIMITED HERE.

THE BIG QUESTION IS WHEN. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WE ARE NEARING THIS INFLECTION POINT VERY SOON. THE STOCK HAS TECHNICAL RESISTANCE AT $25, AND SOME MASSIVE OVERHEAD SHARES THAT WILL KEEP IT FROM MOVING UPWARDS TOO FAST. THIS SETS UP A PERFECT SHORT-SELLING OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE SEEKING A HIGH REWARD TO RISK PAYOFF.

FACEBOOK WAS A FAD
IN OTHER NEWS, THE FOUNDER OF BEBO JUST BOUGHT BACK THE COMPANY HE SOLD FOR $850 MILLION FOR A MERE $1 MILLION. NOW THAT IS A BIG TRADE

http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/01/bebos-founder-michael-birch-says-hes-bought-back-the-social-network-for-1m-plans-to-reinvent-it/

LETS LOOK AT THE SCENARIO AS IT UNFOLDS.  GOING INTO EARNINGS WILL BE INTERESTING. MANY SHORTS ARE SCARED BECAUSE OF THE RECENT LNKD RUN-UP (NOW A $20 BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY).

THE MARKET IS LITTERED WITH THESE SITUATIONS WHERE A FAD OR A CONCEPT CREATES A MASSIVE BUBBLE, THEN LATER DEFLATES, LEAVING THE HOLDERS DISILLUSIONED.  THE MARKETS ARE A REFLEXIVE DYNAMIC IRREVERSIBLE HISTORICAL PROCESS. BOOMS AND BUSTS.

Yogi Berra’s restaurant quote: “No one goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”

IT IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE A CLUSTER OF GEOCITIES SITES WITH AN AOL INSTANT MESSENGER EMBEDDED ON THE SIDE.  THE TREND WILL BE TOWARD OTHER NETWORKS LIKE TUMBLR OR MORE PRIVATE NETWORKS.
PEOPLE WILL EVENTUALLY GROW TIRED OF BUILDING VIRTUAL FARMS AND ROLLER COASTERS. 

WHAT IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO HAPPEN IS THAT ITS USERS WILL BECOME SMARTER AND USE A BROWSER EXTENSION THAT WILL PREVENT ADS FROM BEING DISPLAYED, SUCH AS THIS

$LNKD 192.50: WE ARE ALMOST AT A PEAK HERE. IT CONTINUES TO DRIFT UPWARD AS INSIDERS ARE SELLING LIKE CRAZY. ITS USER BASE IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE. WILL BE KEEPING IT ON THE RADAR.
