Here is a thought for an eager Facebook investor: Google revenue – $40 billion; market capitalization $200 billion (plus $40 billion of cash).  Facebook revenue $4 billion; market capitalization $100 billion. So Facebook has to grow revenue 10x for you to double your money.  Good luck!

I am the CEO at IMA, which is anything but your average investment firm. In a brief moment of senility, Forbes magazine called me "the new Benjamin Graham”.

I’ve written two books on investing, which were published by John Wiley & Sons and have been translated into eight languages. (I’m working on a third - you can read a chapter from it, titled “The 6 Commandments of Value Investing” here).

And if you prefer listening, audio versions of my articles are published weekly at investor.fm.
