I DO Fagbook. But, as big a sucker as I am, I'd never put a dime in to it.
Gooble, on the other hand...
Missed that one. Worth about 6 times what it was at the IPO (if memory serves). Good thing I didn't buy in on Gooble...they'd have been bankrupt by now, and you'd be searching for junk in a phone book. I swear, I could bankrupt Microsoft, or WalMart if I purchased shares tomorrow. Seriously, I AM THE KISS OF DEATH!!!
As a teenager, I bought stock in American Motors with my earnings from mowing grass. I had to find a stock broker, and everything! I personally killed the Gremlin, Matador, Pacer, and The Hornet. It was ALL MY FAULT!
My two IPO regrets: Google and Microsnot. My other regret: bein' HEAVY in tech when the dot-bomb bubble burst, i.e., watching HALF of my 401k disappear. You can survive that sorta thang when you're 30 or so (and I did, once upon a time in the '80s) but it REALLY hurts when you're pushin' 60.
America thanks you, assuming you're the one who REALLY killed the Gremlin.
PT Barnum would have been proud of how Zuckerberg separated the fools from their money.
ReplyDeleteProbably he's proud of how he's accumulated so much identity info, too.
DeleteBarnum used people's ID info?
DeleteNo doubt, Buck.

Chortle, chortle, chortle..
