On CAPS, 41% of the 1,718 members who have rated Facebook believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this week, one of those Fools, JoeArizona, succinctly summed up the bear case for our community:

Facebook is on top of the social computing world ... for the moment. Personally, I was very turned off by the corruption and dishonesty surrounding the IPO. I feel that the book value of the company has been vastly overstated since the beginning. And if [Facebook] tries to monetize to justify their elephantine valuation, they run the serious risk of alienating their users, driving them to the next big thing. I just don't see how they can keep it going.
