I have a fairly large position in Meta because I'm sure that the US government is going to ban TikTok. I think once it spikes from that announcement, it will at least make it back up to over $200, for the time being.

But even if you got in sub $200, a tiktok ban would be a very generous layer of icing on the cake. Same with the metaverse. The core business is still attractive and it’s a good stock.

I'm curious, why Meta? As far as I can tell all of their properties are in decline and don't have much cachet among younger users.

One possible reason is because if Meta did have a product that was appealing, they’re ready for 100M new users overnight. Not just infrastructure but regulatory, compliance, etc. on a global scale.

Any new contender would have to build out very quickly.

I've read that their VR devices are very popular with youngsters and growing.
