(cont) ignored that. Theyre pretending that houses are gonna keep trending higher. That the boom was natural and that houses should be much higher than they are.
Youve got some great points. But having those who own the asset doing mark to model means theyre always going to be incentivised to lie. Its why banks arent lending to each other. Cause they know each others models are full of it.
Definitely bad points to both.

I think America wanted to ban mark to market cause it showed the banks were truely bankrupt and that would have stopped them getting bailouts. And thats the problems with those banks and the banks in Europe cause they use mark to model. Cause they would never have gotten any bailouts cause theyre technically bankrupt.

100 billion for a company that survives on advertising revenue? It produces measly four dollars per profile, 901 million profiles to 3.71 billion revenue, of which barely one billion is profit. Basically you would need a roughly hundred years to get the return for your investment excluding interest for interest and the devaluation of dollar over time. The major investors are most likely gonna blow up the company in their short-sighted greed and it’ll end up dead in a decade. Overvalue = bad.
