Why do you have to choose one over the other? Both $SNAP and $FB are profitable stocks to invest in. Looking forward to the future success of both.

You are all over thinking it... #Facebook is the better company without question. And that fact is reflected in the stock price of $136.99. #Snap's stock price is 1/5th that price at $26.92. You can buy 5X the amount of $SNAP as you can $FB.

You are behind the times. #Snapchat just came out with #Spectacles (www.spectacles.com) which are freaking cool! Clearly they do know how to innovate and have even bigger plans for the future. I think #SNAP is the next big thing. #Facebook is yesterday's tech star. $SNAP $FB

I'd have to agree with these analysts recommendation. I view #Snapchat as a one trick pony, whose gimmicky self destructing photos are easily circumvented. #Facebook has real innovation and is able to adapt to changing times. #Snap is overrated in my opinion. $SNAP $FB

Excellent article Sreekanth! I undestand that #Facebook's higher CapEx would put pressure on meeting "Net Income" goals, and you mentioned that Facebook is still a buy due to its many growth drivers. Going off of that, I'd like to shed light on Facebook's acquisition of #Oculus. Given #Zuckerberg's outlook that virtual reality will be the next disruptive medium, Facebook expects many future cash flows due to proprietary #VR technology such as the #Rift. While this disruption is quite plausible, the per-unit costs of VR products are exorbitant. Could expected returns from risky drivers such as VR sufficiently justify undertaking the risk of entering the video space? $FB

The price target seems a bit too high for my taste. $FB's user growth has been slowing for quite some time in addition to an uptick in inactive accounts. These factors will play into their attractiveness to current and future advertisers. Their heavy reliance on advertising revenue also makes them vulnerable to seasonal swings similar to $GOOG. All in all, not a fan.

I like the idea of targeting college students. An easy market to reach and filled with early adopters. That's the same strategy #Facebook $FB followed. And once you get them as users in college, you'll keep them post graduation. Best of luck to you.

The article is cogent and you are right in suggesting that Tech needs to get involved if the Santa or #Trump rally is to continue! What puzzles me is $AMZN's lack of involvement in the rally, same goes for $FB but they are fighting the currents caused by inaccurate ad metrics and fake news! AAPL is a one product company and lately they can't even produce a decent phone. AMZN, however, has no excuse. A 55% YOY increase in AWS and stupendous sales numbers have not moved the needle. $GOOGL is the only #FANG member that has shown some positive momentum. In the absence of Biotech and Pharma, Tech needs to fill that void or the rally has seen its best days already!

I've often wondered how many profiles on these social sites are fake. Being that you can buy hundreds of thousands of fake likes on sites like #Linkedin and #Facebook, it must be substantial. I still don't see the value of Linkedin to be nearly $26 billion. $LNKD $FB

@[David Zanoni](user:25795), great piece. I too think #Facebook is killing it right now and has many years of growth ahead of it. But for those not wanting to hold the stock for the long term, these are great alternatives to make money now. $FB
