    A PE of over 1000...greed at its finest.

      The PE on a growth stock isn't that important. This is the most shorted stock on the market and tons of people will lose tons of money because they think like you.

      Oh..is that what you call it? This coming from either a Linkedin employee or Wall Street shill. I don't own it!

    Wow! A whole .12 earnings.
    The stock should now trade at 4 dollars a share.

    Oh I forgot, Bain Capital owns this so I guess It's worth a little more.

      It helps you get a job. That's kind of important isn't it. Surely that's better than what Facebook adds. LinkedIn is just facebook with recruiters looking at it as well.

      The big question is how does LinkedIn make money?

      We created the accts there for free. It must be those few ads on the right of their pages that pay the bill?

    A better buy than facebook but still a polished turd.

    76 dollars for Linked IN?! What a piece of cr@p it is. They spam me all the time, now I have a good mind to delete it

    I feel sorry for those that paid $76/share for that crazy 7cent/share profit. Don't get caught holding the bag on this one. Facebook will end up the same way. They won't be able to generate the profit levels to maintain a $100 billion company.

    Profit = 18 cents per user per year...NICE!

    The company is nothing more than a business version of Facebook. A P/E ratio of 1046 AND NO THAT IS NOT 10.46!

    I should be the ideal user of LinkedIn, as a graduating business school student, but I'm never on there and forgot I had an account. I wonder how many more users are similar to me. Bottom line, I would not buy this, and the share lock up is expiring next week I believe (for the remaining 55 million shares)

    In this Day and Age, I have a hard time buying a AIR COMPANY, What are their assets?
