I came here to say this. When the market places a crazy value on your stock price, it behooves you to take advantage if you really have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value.
Same principle as buying up your shares on the cheap if the market beats them down unwisely.

#4All I can think of is walled gardens need upkeep
LinkedIn is the most amazing business node graph out there - for a professional person online it has everybody and uptodate. But there is a wafer thin business model if they played their hand brilliantly - and they play it like a drunk Captain Hook trying second dealing in Vegas.
I just hope that when / if it all collapses we can club together and transfer out the edge connections.

Don't they have a more cohesive and profitable business model than Facebook?

Can you explain what you mean? It's not obvious to me from my perspective.

Even Facebook has a better model as their P/E ratio is only 200 or so.

#8I'd be very careful to buy stock at LinkedIn. I'm not surprised there's high engagement as LinkedIn is full of dark patterns designed to drive engagement but this is bound to backfire sooner or later, many of which I'm sure you've all read about here already if not experienced. There are only so many frustrations users are willing to put up with.

If you build a closed ecosystem, you and you alone are responsible for its value. As with other forms of leverage, you win on the upside, but there's also a lot to lose going down. LinkedIn is a closed, walled garden. It's gotten increasingly obnoxious (enough so that I've pared my legitimate profile down to its bare bones, and have a spoof one I use for research). And, well, we've seen any number of walled gardens implode spectacularly.
Logged into MySpace recently?

Could linkedin use it's data for nefarious purposes? Yes.
Could some professionals ask to be compensated for being on the network? Yes.
Have the professionals on linkedin realized the above? No.
