			<description><![CDATA[Trefis provides some great reports that show up in my Etrade account. Their analysis is very thorough. I especially like how they break down different business units and how much of a stock&#8217;s share price is tied to each unit.
Trefis values Facebook (based on the limited pre-IPO information they have) at $74 Billion, based largely on their advertising business and growth via a growing user base (from 800 million to 2.6 billion) and increased ad revenues from video and music services Facebook is working on.
Here is the report.

			<description><![CDATA[Facebook released their numbers in preparation for an IPO, showing 2011 revenue of $3.7 Billion and profits of $1 Billion. Speculation is the IPO will be valued as high as $100 Billion.
This would be a P/E of 100. That&#8217;s high, but then P/E&#8217;s are not as significant an indicator for young companies with a lot of growth potential. So can Facebook grow enough to justify a $100 Billion price tag? I&#8217;m not so sure.
The easy justification goes like this:

Well, it turns out you don&#8217;t have to justify the price because the market is beating the shit out of the stock. It&#8217;s trading after hours right now at around $86, and who knows where the market will take it.

			<description><![CDATA[With mortgage rates dropping like a brick, it&#8217;s becoming a no-brainer for us to refinance our home loan. Even though we just got a 30-year loan 2 years ago at 5.875%, we can get 30-year loans now for around 4.5% or lower. You might be in a similar situation.
Rule of Thumb
The rule of thumb I hear thrown around a lot is that if you can drop 1% off your mortgage rate, you should refinance. To get a more precise idea if refinancing is good for you, you should really take ...<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>

I got interested in the stock after picking up Star Craft 2, another blockbuster game from them. I knew that game was going to sell better than expected. I had been watching pro Star Craft 2 tournaments that were run off the game&#8217;s beta for a few months. At ...<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>
