You know what is ludicrous? That LinkedIn is on for $400M this year and has doubled its revenue each of the past 3 years

That is ludicrous



It's also unsustainable. LinkedIn will never be worth however many billions of dollars it's valued at right now without a healthy does of speculation and fad-type demand.

They only made $15 MM last year. That's a perfectly acceptable profit and a well run company, but it is not billions of dollars.
