Does a market cap bigger than Disney's make any sense at all for a company like Facebook?

In this video from Tuesday's Investor Beat, host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Matt Koppenheffer and Mike Olsen dissect the hardest-hitting stories from the market today.

Shares of Facebook (META -0.68%) hit an all-time high today, on news that the company would finally be rolling out video ads in its news feed that would play automatically for Facebook users. Clearly the market liked the news, but at a market cap now above that of media giant Disney (DIS -0.58%), does Facebook make sense at this valuation? In the lead story on today's Investor Beat, Matt and Mike discuss Facebook's goals for its video ads, how they may be received among users, and the best way to value Facebook stock today.
