By Michael Snyder: Shouldn't
Internet companies actually "make a profit" at some point before being
considered worth billions of dollars? A lot of investors laugh when
they look back at the foolishness of the "Dotcom bubble" of the late
1990s, but the tech bubble that is inflating right in front of our eyes
today is actually far worse. For example, what would you say if I told
you that a seven-year-old company that has a long history of not being
profitable and that actually lost 64 million dollars last quarter is worth more than 13 billion dollars?
You would probably say that I was insane, but the company that I have
just described is Twitter and Wall Street is going crazy for it right
now. Please don't get me wrong - I actually love Twitter. On my Twitter account
I have sent out thousands of "tweets". Twitter is a lot of fun, and it
has had a huge impact on the entire planet. But is it worth 13 billion
dollars? Of course not.
When it comes to the Internet, what is hot today will probably not be hot tomorrow.
Do you remember MySpace?
At one time, MySpace was considered to be the undisputed king of
social media. But then something better came along (Facebook) and
killed it.
It is important to keep in mind that Facebook did not even exist ten years ago. Yes, almost everybody is using it today, but will everybody still be using it a decade from now?
