I'm not sure I need the "?", but with investing, nothing is guaranteed. I haven't looked at their financial statements... but one has to wonder where the revenue stream is. I don't pay them anything (hell, I rarely even log in). But is it data harvesting? ads?

Swade noted an interesting thing about facebook: GM is pulling their advertising there... apparently it was costing them $40m/y, yet only $10m/y was paid to facebook for the ads... they felt they weren't getting enough return to justify the expenditure...

My gut feel is speculators will drive the price up initially + then it will fall back down. If I had to bet a donut on it, of your options, I'd say $20, but who knows... I'm not buying it. I think many people are already starting to find it boring + move on with their lives... less use probably means smaller revenue stream... I have been wrong before...
