But thinking about it more, my earlier post wasn't relevant to this thread since the message I replied to was just expanding upon the idea of Facebook printing money and it should be okay to include Instagram and WhatsApp revenues there.
I find it hard to believe that it is worth 2/3 of what google is when the revenues are 6 times lower, less diversified (if you can call oculus rift an investment). Printing money seems like an overstatement, they are financing it largely at a cost and I just don't see how you can monetize what essentially is facebook, a free chat device inferior to skype.

They're worth $217b to be exact and have an EBITDA of $6b (on $11b in revenue).[0] They are effectively "printing money" at this point.

I would assume that evaluation includes all of Facebook, not just the core portion.
What exactly is "core facebook"?
FB without WhatsApp or Instagram (see the GGGGP)
