bill cowen, immediately what hit me is those who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. if there's any country familiar with violence and attacks on its citizens, i think it would be russia, an attack led by its leaders on its citizens, opposition leaders, again i think it would be russia. so this was like a double stunner for know hear. i remember very well in 2002 how russian soldiers used chemical weapons to sniff out what they called chechen terrorists. i fine it out for russians to know that fact and criticize us. >> i agree totally. i'm not a twitter so i'm not sure how twitter work's buts i saw a followup to the news account where a lot of americans were tweeting back to him, some really tough comments. in fact he was whimpering about it. a lot -- thank you to all those americans and maybe people in other countries who pointed out just what you said. we, america, we're an exceptional country. we're a good country. we have good motives. we don't always do everything right but we try to do things for the right purposes and russians are the last people in the world w

that's over at cowen. the stock's at a new high. glen, your thoughts? >> we're fans of facebook. facebook has become the key platform for distributing mobile apps outside of two app stores that are owned by google and apple. both those firms haven't provided an advertising platform for the publisher of the apps, so facebook is now the key place where you want to have your app seen. >> what's been the history in the stock, from let's say ipo until now? >> we played it on the deal. it's about what was going on with the mobile advertising business. that's been the big key in the rise of the stock. >> there are some who raise valuation issues on facebook. steve weis, you're one of them. but what about the valuation? >> it's not as aggressive as it is on a p.e. basis. those kinds of mismatches in terms of earnings and cash flow, that will get taken care of as the company matures. >> can facebook and twitter coexist in a good portfolio once it goes public? >> i think they absolutely do different things. facebook is where you share information and news with your friends. twitter is a pl
