Is Facebook worth more than McDonalds?
That's what I heard on the news this morning, that at $38 a share, Facebook has a higher market cap than McDonalds.
I really find that difficult to believe in the real world. Sure Facebooks has a Billion friends. But McDonalds sells billions of burgers each year, plus has huge assets. Ads |

Well McDonalds has a market capitalization of 92 Billion, while facebook will do its initial public offering at a little over 100 billion. They are VERY different companies in the sense that McDonalds has a huge amount of tangible assets while FB has intangibles to last for decades.
There are many unknowns when making a market valuation for a company like facebook, but that's what the market "thinks" its worth as of today. Let's see how their IPO plays out! |

During an interview years ago the founder of McDonalds said he is not really in the hamburger business, he is in the real estate business. That's how a failing K-Mart bought Sears: K-Mart realized it was sitting on a lot of expensive real estate.
What's facebook got? etherware; it produces nothing, you can't eat it and it exists only in people's minds. Now that everyone is cashing in and cashing out, I figure its days are numbered. |
