I'm holding this for long term. I think it will wobble around some but then settle in and do well. Maybe I bought in to early. I don't think so. I think it found bottom. I felt it opened to high and it appeared I was right. Did I make the right call? Never know, but I think so. I don't try to buy and sell quick I used to do that and thought I was doing well untill the tax bill came. Now I look for long term holds. Facebook in my opinion is not going anywhere. I know it will evolve but with the internet becoming such a large part of everyday life and social networking becoming the largest growing segment of it. Seems like a good bet. Like I said earlier. We shall see.

And W thanks for the LNG tip earlier. I've been following them and I like them too. I need more info on them before I commit though.

Here is what's bad about social media...right now Facebook is at the top ,but the next big thing is around the corner

Myspace was 1st then Facebook took over...


So with internet changing at fast rate , I would not hold on Facebook long term

Only problem with FB is that they don't sell a tangible product, obviously thats a not problem to some though.
