At the rate FB is falling, there won't be 1000 new millionaires by that time


FB is still going to be worth $40B?. Its not $100B+, but there are plenty of people that are going to make a lot of money if they sell.

Also check out Fred Wilsons response (http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/06/some-perspective.html). He makes some good points about the returns still being pretty damn good.


If you do the arithmetic, yes there will. At any rate, you don't need to be a millionaire to do venture investing.


At the rate FB is falling, it will be worth less than 12 billion in 3 months.


It's these kind of forward projections that cause booms and busts, ie. people assuming that housing prices will increase at a steady/regular rate over time. Just as we saw that this doesn't happen in a steady way, nor will facebook steadily decline over the next 3 months.
