OUCH: Mark Zuckerberg just lost $9 billion in wealth

All true. I was thinking more in terms of actually selling the company to another business entity & retiring.

No way a young guy like him would retire. Too driven and he's going to want to see that his company lasts. Not to mention who could afford to buy Facebook?

(I guess I shouldn't say he would never retire at a young age but for most people like that it's not in their DNA)

Of course; that's what really separates guys like him from most people. They're in overdrive. Plus, Facebook is his baby.

Companies have tried to buy Facebook before - Google, Viacom, Microsoft. It's worth more now than what they offered, but a bird in the hand & all that.

I was thinking more at today's valuation. You are right about the past. And the money is more a scorecard to guy's line Zuckerburg when you have that much. As appealing as being able to retire and do whatever we want might sound to you and me I bet he has no desire for it. Goes back to the too driven thing.

Where did I lie?

Please be specific.

I said dishonest liar; it is a state of mind you inhabit when you pretend you don't mean or intend something. Spare me more of your dishonest stupidity. You agreed with the premise of the thread and then when asked about it whine like a little pussy.

I've thought the latter for ages. Where exactly did I "agree w/ the premise of the thread?"

Again - exact verbiage please.
