only linkedin comes closer.ook has higher barriers to entry than any business, well frankly anybody else in this business. it's a higher barrier entry than google. google plus hasn't been able to chip away at their dominance. you simply can't replicate the wonder and reach of facebook. replication being the key term here. no matter how much money you have, you can't replicate it, which is why the $100 billion valuation does not freak me out. i am not one of these. it is the ability to target advertisements in a way that no one else can. mobile is the big risk here. admittedly, i've said that night after night. facebook has only just started to roll out its mobile advertising strategy, but they have a better chance of winning in this area than any of the other social media names. if anyone can devise the strategy, it will be zuckerberg and company. disney's bob iger told us that if an advertiser wants his brand out there in a big way, nothing can touch the reach of broadcast tv. but companies tell me that faceboo

that's a better area to take a look at it. >> linkedin has been more successful. >> linkedin continuesbe a real winner. if you look at this uptrend, it's been a up place for quite some time. it got up to right near the ipo price intra-day of 120. it's backed off a little bit. but it's still good to be long in the stock and buy dips. the area i'm looking at a 105 initially and 101. i still think until the stock shows further signs of deterioration, you really have to stick with the stocks that are doing well and buy those. >> mark mahaney, with the valuations we're talking about here, the hoopla of facebook, are we revisiting the bubble of the '90s do you think? >> i think largely. no i think linkedin and several others that are somewhat of a mature business model, nice high margins, generating a lot of cash. there is real fundamental trends, there profitable trends there that you could track and you could forecast. pandora was maybe a little bit bubblesque this is a concept stock. it's not going to be profitable for a few other years. that's why one thing goes wrong, that stock correct

simon, you're on linkedin and you use it. >> i do. behind a red rope, i don't know anyone who waited in line anywhere. >> especially not in -- >> i've become curious. facebook talk about coming out way application, competition. curious whether you spoke about that before, because on their own i think competitions coming very, very soon. >> right. you've got to think that facebook can turn that on at any moment i. think so and i think more simplistic products. linked lyin will try to acquire. >> you really don't get it. >> i don't get it. >> these guy, great, but i don't get it. >> all right. well, there's a lot of talk about apple tv and the iphone 5. there's one more thing that can give apple a big boost one of our favorite analysts what to watch for right after this. much more "fast" straight ahead. countries took part in a 1 science test. #askfast. so did the country that came in 17th place. let's raise the bar and elevate our academic standards. let's do what's best for our students-by investing in our teachers. let's solve this.

>> i do like linkedin.aking the stock to get over the former highs and get up to $120. >> this is pretty much the whole life of the stock, missing a few weeks here, but as they said -- >> here's a stock. it started to stall as it got to the former highs but it's alleviated the stock and is positioning it to move north of $120, which is where it traded near the ipo. >> that would be your target price? >> yes. >> mark may, have we seen this kind of rally since december? >> i don't think there's a company that's performed as well as linkedin. we're talking about 100% revenue growth. they have beaten quarters since it went public a year ago. expectations are getting higher and higher and it will be interesting to see if they print after the close today. >> i do think that's correct. technically the stock has been a little range-bound and, if anything, that sets up for a decent opportunity for the stock to go higher in the weeks ahead. the trend in the market is quite bullish. we're seeing a little pullback. bot

obviously linkedin did as well. if you take a look at all of the internet and internet media-related companies that ipo eid since january of 1999 you'll see a very distinctive pattern and that is you had a lot of better opportunities to buy them and in a lot of cases those opportunities ended up looking pretty bad when the stocks traded much, much lower, and i think that really everybody does have -- have an options trading opportunity right here. you have an option not to buy it. an option to wait and see what is going to happen, and if you need to trade the options, you don't have to wait that long because they are going to start trading a week from next tuesday. >> right to. that point, if you take, for instance, linkedin even, linkedin which has done so nicely in, ten days after the lockout period the stock traded at an all-time low of $59 a share. going out today somewhere above $100. plenty of opportunities to pick and choose your spots. >> and a massive amount of stock is coming on the market. >> right. >> in

it raised its rating on linkedin to buy from neutral.s long viewed linkedin as one of the strongest ipo internet stocks. we've written that we would become more constructive on a pullback. here's the pullback. here's the upgrade. do you agree that now -- do you agree with citi that now's the time for linkedin? >> they're basically saying it's on sale and you should purchase it now. we like linkedin. we like the space. i also think we should look at crm, salesforce.com. they just made a large purchase recently into the social media space. so they're going to be competing directly -- >> you like that one better than linkedin. >> these guys are much more embedded in large organizations than linkedin is yet. >> all right. next, goldman sachs upgrading wynn resorts to buy from neutral saying we believe the stock price reflects most of the risks currently associated with the company but does not reflect the potential upside to this premier u.s./asian casino story. analyze that one for me. >> it's been an embattled space. wynn resorts, las vega

i don't see the link right there and linkedin neither. zynga on the other hand does have close ties to facebook. the mafia wars which is not a game i happen to play. >> really? i thought you were a fan of mafia wars. >> i am also not on facebook, but a lot of people who are on facebook are involved with games like mafia wars through facebook. there is a close connection between these two. it wouldn't surprise me if somebody thought maybe if zynga is due for a bounce, this might be the potential driver as people look for a way to play on facebook. if you won't get the allocation, no way to trade it now. maybe that's the only other way to make a play. >> do you think it gets a bounce off of the facebook ipo if it hasn't already? >> i have been watching it closely when facebook released one of the first s1s and 15% had come from zynga, down from 19 a year. zynga has their own site in beta and trying to get people off of facebook and playing farmville on their site and capture the revenues. the cams are very faddy. they are a fad. not fatty.

i want to bring in the linkedin chart. they're an analysis. that stock is up about 75% year to date. so linkedin has had a great run. in contrast both groupon and zyngas have really suffered. zynga is up about 27%. they've been making motions to try to diversify on facebook. groupon, social buying service, the deal-a-day service, groupon is down 52%. now, one thing we need to keep in mind here is a lot of investors have told me they have invested in some of these other social media names in order to have exposure to the social media sector. the big question is did they buy into facebook themselves and they won't need that other exposure and will they shift their investments from facebook to others. that's something to watch. guys back,ing over to you. >> julia boorstin, thanks very much. it dwiengs be a very busy week, so get some rest. will it give boost to the names like zynga and groupon and pando pandora, for that matter, which have not done so well after their debuts. mike, what do you think here? >> it wouldn't surprise me. say, groupon,

the anatomy of a fabulous ipo, linkedin.nd no doubt the issue was artificial the way it was priced, putting out little stock, knowing it would cause a big stock and causing a pop. they knew it would be hot because of the values thrown around for social media names and they offered a limited number of shares and set the price below the hyped valuation levels, demand would be huge, even though linkedin is a well-known company. brokers tightly control the supply. parcelled it out to accounts they believed it would not flip the stock and gave out just enough to large funds they would be able to start but not finish their position. that's really important. the mutual fund's appetite is whetted, come into the regular market and bid linkedin up to get the rest of the position and they take advantage the sliver. get some on the deal, average up in the aftermarket and they have a pretty darn good basis, better than can you. never forget the trick to a successful ipo is the rationing process. the desk which allocate the stock know how

buying linkedin on day one was a fool's game. same goes for zillow.you were patient zillow ultimately pulled back to $21.63. a much better entry point than you could have gotten on that first day. back up to $40 and change. if you were patient and waited for a pull back you would have a 90% gain from the bottom. 90. and jive. jive became public in december. closed at $15.05. it gave you an entry point that was lower if you were patient and didn't buy on the first day move. it's true facebook is a better company than any of these, they have a proven business model. unlike many of them it's already hugely profitable. but when you're analyzing an ipo the mechanics of the deal are just as important as the fundamentals and the facebook deal has many similarities to these earlier social media ipos. it's a sliver deal. 13% of the shares are being sold. this is a trick the underwriters use to engineer a quick pop. the door opened to numerous secondary offerings down the road that could drive the stock lower. remember yours truly was behind one of these unprof

it's been a huge week in the world of tech from linkedin to the battle for the board room for yahoo!. mark joins us right now on the fast line with which companies you should buy, sell, or hold. mark, it's great to have you as usual. >> hi, scott. >> linkedin was a good report but you say that you're remaining neutral due to valuation and perhaps valuation was the biggest question going into the earnings report even with the beat, stock move, et cetera. valuation still remains an issue to you. >> i think it's not off a small base and expanding to record levels and within the linkedin network that is accelerating with a knew ipad app. it's one that is a respectful neutral. the stock worked and we see a pullback on it. >> i know you can't speak specifically to facebook, given who you work for at citi, obviously. but can you at least speak to the fact that i wonder if some people are thinking about buying a name like this today in hopes that the ultimate facebook ipo is going to lift in the social media space? >> one is google which is, given the valuation that it trades at versus looks

is that code for don't come within 500 feet of linkedin? >> no, we've liked linkedin in the past. we have a market perform on them but had a buy in the past. a little sensitive on linkedin, but at the right price, we'll be more aggressive. >> keeping it close to the vest today. aaron kessler, thank you. >> thank you. >> amazon he covers, linkedin, devaluation continues to be a story there. >> valuation to me is ridiculous at mectio$08, at $112, so valua shouldn't be a concern. >> i want to talk amazon, our call of the day. after credit suisse upgraded amazon from neutral to out-perform, boosting the price target to $270. the analyst cited amazon's historic out-performance of the s&p 500 following share buybacks as well as strong numbers so far this year. the company also reportedly may be working on a front-lit kindle, which would make reading in the dark easier on that device. so, it's an interesting upgrade. i mean, if you look at the call in and of itself, right, and you look at the buyback history and what the stock has done, it has dramatically out-performed after the buyback

>> we also have linkedin. they have been really active. let's go to jon fortt on that. >> maria, i am seeing these numbers just come in. 188.5 million in revenue. 15 cents nongap eps. it's just above the level where i believe analysts earlier on this program were saying they wanted to see it at 185. this should be positive for the street. i want to see what guidance is. they purchased slide share. they expected to close in second quarter of 2012 for 108. 45% in cash. slide share is an online software, a service outfit where you can share business videos and business presentations. so this marks a move by linkedin to sharing more business content on the site, maria. >> thank you so much, jon fortt with the latest there. the company reporting earnings of 1.65 for aig compared to expectations of $1.12. joining me with reaction to the company's earnings and what is ahead at aig, the man in charge. president and ceo joins me for an exclusive interview. bob, it's always great to have you on the program. >> thank you for having me. >> what drove

link linkedin, there's 38%. the highest that we had, which happens to be the same amount of insider share percentage as pandora. so they opened pandora's box and they've been trying to get it closed at a certain level. that's more than twice what pandora is valued. and they've been a total bust. >> carl, interesting, of course, when it comes to facebook and when it's finally out there trading, it's not going to be a quarter-to-quarter story. one can imagine sitting here many times after the bell or in the morning, whichever it will be, wondering what the quarter is going to look like. mark zuckerburg has made it very clear he's not running this thing from quarter to quarter. >> this was never intend today be a company. it's intend today be a social mission. the last few minutes of the squawk box say this might be a frustrating ride if you're used to that kind of communication. you're not going to get it. there's been a lot of discussion on if you don't have the distraction of going public. you know, jim, there's

linkedin is ten times revenues.n that basis, there's still a huge leap of faith in terms of how this model is ultimately going to monetize. >> to the judge's point, if you agree they slash in the slightest of fashions, given that valuation, this stock could be taken out to the wood shed tomorrow? >> i would say yes, but i honestly feel the chance of them missing in any significant session on top line, which is where the focus is, is pretty small. we're ahead of guidance right now, about 88%. i probably feel the whisper number is probably higher than that, probably more mid-90s, year over year growth. i think you're absolutely right. if for some reason, if there was a crack in terms of their growth story, certainly, that would happen. >> what about second quarter guidance? they have very difficult comparisons. what about enterprise sign-ups? what kind of growth are you looking for? >> in terms of second quarter guidance, the company has a history of guiding pretty conservatively. even to increase over four year or pr

almost exactly a year ago, linkedin went public.acebook ipo space in which you operate? >> you know, facebook is obviously an important company within the industry and i think with the leadership that they have there, they have been doing the addition of a world class cfo. i'm sure they are in very good hands throughout this process. >> thanks, again, for taking the time. >> jon fortt, thank you so much. we're going to count you down to the close overseas. a little less than seven minutes time. a lot more "squawk on the street" continues after this short break. short break. recently, students from 31 countries took part in a science test. the top academic performers surprised some people. so did the country that came in 17th place. let's raise the bar and elevate our academic standards. let's do what's best for our students-by investing in our teachers. let's solve this. >>> taking a look at markets, dow down 1%. the nasdaq at this point is shaping up for the worst week of 2012. largely due to declines. finally, oil positively getti

if you liked linkedin and the revenue growth, buy facebook. it could go to 15, but if you think mark zuckerberg is the next steve jobs or bill gates, then facebook looks good here. >> do you own facebook in the fund? >> i don't own any. it is not in our mandate, but i would certainly take a look at it in my personal account. but i would put it into a drawer and look at it in 20 years from now. >> he likes farm animals. he told us himself. we'll talk about research in motion. more battery there is with shares hovered near $10. joe had this trade right saying many times the stock was headed below $10. we'll welcome the analyst at mk partners to break down why he says rim's network infrastructure is basically worthless. obviously, those are strong words. lets cut to the chase. what's the ultimate outcome going to be here for research in motion? they have hired bankers, you have to believe that the banker sitting at the table is going to put strong advice to the ceo. >> yes. after last night's profit warning, we took down the fair value for this s

look at all the hype surrounding zynga, pandora, linkedin and groupon. of those four big social networkers, only linkedin is trading above its ipo price. bob pisani is at the nyse this afternoon with some of the risks and warning signs behind facebook's ipo. hey, bob. >> carl, i want to believe. i do. i just don't know. there's a problem here. the whole company is a bet that they're somehow going to have some special sauce that's going to lock all that information they have on everybody and turn it into a tsunami of earnings. i'm a little skeptical about that. if you are, maybe you want to hold back. they also tell me you're going to see facebook banking, facebook gaming, facebook movies, facebook salamis in the future. if you believe that, go ahead and keep buying. others are more skeptical. carl, insiders own this stock at $1.11. keep that in mind when it's trading around $50. >> that's a nice return. jeff kilburg with kilburg capital. jeff, i have seen up to $150 based on cash flow asujss five years out and more. why should i buy this? >> carl, every

linkedin, that's the true winner today. up nearly 7%. i think people are really staying away from these other social media stocks and they're piling into linkedin which is a proven track record. but, finally, groupon. i don't like groupon. i think it's a trendy trade. see it down nearly 50% over the year. i think groupon people are going to continue to sell and pile into linkedin. but stay tuned. because later in the show, ty, i'm going to be giving you my favorite social media place. three times the size of the twitter users out there. stay tuned. >> meet the flockers in the facebook case. jeff, thanks very much. we're going to get that other pick coming up. >>> first, why don't we do a little wealth tracker on three of facebook's founding fathers. mark zuckerberg leading the way. he lost a lot of money in the past couple of days. started last friday at roughly $20 billion of facebook wealth. now it's down to a piddling $16.4 billion. dustin moskovitz was at $5 billion friday. today at $4.3 billion, poor guy. and eduardo saverin who at

when asked whether linkedin -- jeff weiner stressed linkedin is about making ceos more effective. >>ocus on a professional context. >> and linkedin has had a volatile ride but shares of up over 100% since last may and 50% year to date. and citigroup's mark mehenny jumped on the bandwagon, upgrading the stock to buy and boosting the price target to $125. unlike facebook which makes money mostly from ads, a small percent and of its revenues from gaming fee, linkedin has three revenue streams, the fastest growing is hiring, recruiting tools and marketing, as well as sales tools to help users in their jobs. now, there's no question that linkedin is smaller than facebook. with 161 million ususers, ceo weiner says the target audience is the 641 million knowledge workers around the globe. that's smaller than facebook's total user base today. many of them pay to access the service and companies pay to recruit them. back over to you. >> julia, interesting stuff. that call by citi did get a lot of attention yesterday. i want to go to steve liesman with breaking news on consumer debt. >> a rare

linkedin is one of them. >> well, there's one word to describe linkedin and that's side ways.s made a nice trend and it's not been able to take out resistance. it's trading at a broadening formation. it's supported by a gap rate at 95. target is 70. almost a 40% decline. as wild as that sounds, it's supported by the side ways trend. it's going to go back down as it has over the last year. veryvolatile trading. >> that is comprised of higher highs, lower lows. there is real opportunity here in pandora. it looks like it could pop by 30%. why? first, it's started to reverse the near term down trend and it's doing this on a rounding bottom. it confirms on a closing basis, target of a nearly 30% pop and, third, it's supported by an unclosed gap right at 1220 and it appears as though that would take it right up to the top of the channel. there's a very nice opportunity over the next quarter to maybe the upcoming quarter to be recorded and it's going to be a pleasant surprise. >> so you would buy pandora? >> it looks like a nice trade. >> facebook is up for a very volatile year. up a
