On the eve of Facebooks I.P.O., founder and C.E.O. Mark Zuckerberg published the following letter to potential investors: Dear Potential Investor: For years, youve wasted your time on Facebook. Now heres your chance to waste your money on it, too. Tomorrow is Facebooks I.P.O., and I know what some of you are thinking. How will Facebook be any different from the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s? For one thing, those bad dot-com stocks were all speculation and hype, and werent based on real businesses. Facebook, on the other hand, is based on a solid foundation of angry birds and imaginary sheep. Second, Facebook is the most successful social network in the world, enabling millions to share information of no interest with people they barely know. Third, every time someone clicks on a Facebook ad, Facebook makes money. And while no one has ever done this on purpose, millions have done it by mistake while drunk. We totally stole this idea from iTunes. Finally, if you invest in Facebook, youll be far from alone. As a result of using Facebook for the past few years, over nine hundred million people in the world have suffered mild to moderate brain damage, impairing their ability to make reasoned judgments. These will be your fellow Facebook investors. With your help, if all goes as planned tomorrow, Facebooks I.P.O. will net a hundred billion dollars. To put that number in context, it would take JP Morgan four or five trades to lose that much money. One last thing: What will, I, Mark Zuckerberg, do with the eighteen billion dollars Im expected to earn from Facebooks I.P.O.? Well, Im considering buying Greece, but that would still leave me with eighteen billion dollars. LOL. Friend me, Mark
