Should I buy FB?

[SJ]

I admit to placing a limit order in one of my fun accounts.

I have some friends who are buying FB, but I personally am not. I find myself using FB less and less, and I see the same for other people....that does not sound like a winning stock to me. Just my two cents.

As the last week showed very clearly, internet users are very fickle. I would worry that Facebook today will be MySpace tomorrow. But, that's what I thought about Apple, way back when everyone seemed to have a P.C....

I personally haven't been able to figure anything out on FB since they switched to that timeline thing.

Someone on PCE posted about why you shouldn't buy it. It was interesting. But they basically dittoed what Dr. Girlfriend said about users being fickle. Plus, I guess a lot of their advertisers have been pulling out.

I think there is some money to be made in the short-term on FB. I think there will be some significant swings in the price over the next 60 days, but I don't think it is a good long-term investment.

Nope, though my FIL is buying quite a bit of it.

Just to clarify, the account I may buy it in is definitely more of a short-term/trading account than a long-term/buy & hold account.

I also have doubts about the LT prospects.

We decided to go for it and bought 5 shares. We are definitely in it for the short term though. We'll sell when we see a little return, and maybe keep one just to have one. I seriously doubt it has any LT value, but it'll be interesting to see what happens with it.
