      One of the reasons that Amazon has such a massive P/E is because they have ENORMOUS revenue (13 billion in the first quarter) and if they can figure out how to get overhead costs down then earnings would be better and this is what investors are counting on. What you describe is a situation where there is no possible way to increase profits by reducing overhead as it is already a lean company. The only way to increase profits would be to find additional lines of revenue. For FB to justify the current price, they're going to have to quintuple their revenue.

      I don't think that will happen.
