I just started getting interested in investing yesterday, and I've read everything in this subreddit's and /r/investing 's sidebars. I'm looking at FB as my first stock to invest in, and from everything I've looked at it seems like a great investment. But I probably don't know shit, because how could it be this easy. I made up a basic Pros and Cons list for investing in this company:
PROS:
Constant growth over the years of it being public
Very good management team
Very few competitors
Massive userbase
27% profit margin last year
Owns a variety of businesses
Recommended by many big analysts
Has a monopoly in the tech industry
Owns Instagram and Whatsapp
Has potential to grow exponentially if they popularize Oculus Rift
Cons:
Userbase might be partially inactive
Myspace became irrelevant very quickly
90% ad revenue
May lose relevancy over the next few years
Has no idea how to monetize Oculus Rift
Tech industry is constantly changing
Google + has 500 million users and is Facebook’s competition
So my question is, am I missing anything? Are there any signs that FB might tank over the next few years? I might just be very naive, but FB looks like a good long term investment, and I can see it growing a lot
