you have essentially a $17 million enterprise value and there are not a lot of companies with an interest in technology and gaining what you would get if you would buy twitter. mark: what does twitter due to described as ave slowdown in user growth? u.s. user growth was nonexistent last quarter. slower and slower growth domestically. the growth internationally has in a less value because they are product.with an sms paying a fraction of what u.s. advertisers pay. the slowing growth is an issue for twitter. issues that is not a huge deal for this company is the lack of profitability. the lack of profitability is principally a result of issuing stock options, it is not a cash

issue for them. once you strip out the stock-option costs, you see a business that will do about $250 million in revenue in the current year. generate --a lot to betty: $17 billion. who has the money to buy this company? losses andof the stock options, and would not be -- it would cause their earnings to decline after spending that $17 million. look at compass like apple, microsoft, google, facebook, they could afford to do such a deal. , their earnings power has been so strong. who can imagine what the ultimate price would be? will twitter find a way to work out these problems on its own? they don't know who their leader will be in the future.
