Hmm

Freemium is the dominant business model

Games are the biggest money makers

Mobile has become a platform game.

Platform markets tend to standardize around one or two platforms.

What about Facebook?

Facebook went public at an extremely high price 75X EPS

Why?

Because everyone thought IPO meant free money.

Oops.

Investors learned a painful lesson.

But Facebook still has an excellent valuation 45X EPS.

So dont let anyone tell you its cheap.

Whats happening to Facebook stock, by the way, is likely a common transition

High-growth stocks usually go through a momentum phase, in which theyre blowing away estimates.

Then growth slows, and expectations come in line with reality.

Thats followed by years of multiple compression.

Microsoft has been in this transition since 2000.

Google since 2008

Multiple compression can be followed by steady growth or death.

Amazon stock is back on the march.

Facebooks future is uncertain, but its a great company, and stock could return to growth.

But, for now multiple compression.

One area in which investors have been too exuberant:


The private market.

Facebooks IPO will probably dampen that enthusiasm.

Thank you very much.
