VFC's Stock House Does Not Buy The Facebook (FB) Hype

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 18, 2012 ) New York, NY -- VFC's Stock House, an information and research outlet that brings ideas and opens discussions to a broad spectrum of investors, is not buying the hype surrounding Friday's Facebook (FB) IPO.

No doubt that the event marks an historical moment in the history of the tech and financial sectors, but that's all that this much-anticipated event might turn out to be - a moment in time that, at the end of the day, means little in the grand scheme of things, other than that a great campaign of hype can spark enough emotional momentum to create an insane amount of wealth for those involved in the hype campaign.

Remember when shares of Sirius (SIRI) ran to over nine bucks solely because Howard Stern agreed to join the company for half a billion dollars? That hype made a whole lot of investors rich - while the numbers were never there to support the price - but when reality came crashing down on those that believed the hype, the share price followed south.

Google (GOOG), in my opinion, is not even a comparison. Google provides a service, in essence. Users flock to Google with the expectations to use it as a vehicle for transportation, that the service will help them arrive at the information, products or websites for which they search. Much of the time, the end goal of using Google holds the intent of spending money, therefore the user "link shops" until they find what they are looking for. Google is a platform created and operated for the purpose of making money from "link shopping."
