Should I buy Facebook?

Search engines are becoming smarter. You can ask them any question. And they will have an answer; many answers. Some of these answers will be opinions, some of them visuals, some of them tables, and some of them might just create confusion.

“Why do you want to buy Facebook?” Look at it carefully. The stock was among the bottom fifth performers in the US 500 group of stocks in Jun 2012. It was priced at USD 20. This was when nobody was looking at it. The questions then were different. “Should I continue to hold the Facebook stock?”, “Should I sell the Facebook stock?” Now that the technology company has moved up by 400% in 3 years, has become the top relative performer among the US 500 group of stocks and is ranking at a top score near 100, stock performance can be measured differently. The real opportunities to buy come at the bottom. Let’s look at something else and revisit Facebook when it drops in relative ranking back below 50”

Jiseki Cycles are seasonal patterns of growth (strength) or decay (weakness) in variables (assets). They are derived from relative percentile rankings from 1 to 100. 100 is top relative performance and 1 is worst performance. 80-100 group components are referred to as Growth components while 0-20 components are Value components. Though in the short term Growth and Value can continue to trend i.e. Growth can continue to trend up, while Value can continue to drift lower, over the longer term period more than 36 months, Value reverts and changes a trend to relative outperformance while Growth peaks and starts underperforming. The three Jiseki legends illustrate three different periods of ranking.
