LikeWhat does Siegler have for an personal Vendetta with Google? I assume he didn't read anything in the filing. Facebook is directly before decline, because they shift to mobile where they can't advertise. This is also the reason why this IPO is so huge, get this cheap capital now and find a solution over the long run. The Amazon comment is just nonsense, does he even know how to read a balance sheet?
