    Pinterest is quite big and their stocks could be up there as well. I think they could be trying to give Facebook a run for their money.

    Companies like Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are among those that are really going to stand tall forever since time could allow it. Pinterest could end up growing into being as large as those major corporations. Being a billionaire from one social media site means that you are doing a really great job running your company. Pinterest would not be the company to buy and hold on to dividend stock if they have any at the moment but who knows that could very well change.

    I think Pinterest is in the direction of those huge companies. If it will get there only time will tell, but I think it's possible.

    I truly understand now, why Warren Buffett, stays away from investing in tech-giants: the value for such corporations are so arbitrary, it's astounding some morons are willing to purchase a intangible thing for such a ridiculous price!

    5 billion for a tech-giant?! I understood the selling of Dr. Dre's Beats for the amount it was purchased for, because that's a corporation with a product that has intrinsic value [a major reason Buffett reasoned for his dislike of investing in tech-giants], but to value Pinterest in the billions, it's absurd and a straight ticket to creating the next big economic bubble-burst people need to watch out for: App Market Crash!

    You definitely need to use more caution with techs. And these companies that make little or no actual profit should REALLY be handled carefully, if it all.

    Its like you can sit down and invest money into them and be truly disappointed later on. So with tech giants is like a huge gamble of risking your lifesworth saving on them or not.

    Of course we all know that social media is the way of the future I just mean take a minute and look at the amount of handheld devices that people have in the world on a day to day and then you would see why. Majority of the people that own a computer or a smart phone spend most of their time on social media sites.

    i was thinking the same thing the other day does this mean that we should now try to get in on a little piece of the pie?
