"Mark This Down": Facebook vs. the Market Over the Next 5 Years

Last week, I invited Fool co-founder David Gardner into our brand-new Motley Fool studio space here in Alexandria, Va. We spent nearly an hour talking about the state of the retail investor here in 2013, his investing philosophy, and his current thinking on a half-dozen specific stocks in his Supernova universe. (You can view the entire interview here.)

One of the stocks we discussed was Facebook . In late November, David tweeted: "I am confident that #Facebook beats the market from here, next 5 years. #markthisdown."

I asked David what makes him bullish on Facebook -- which is, in its current form, a display-ad business model. You can watch his answer in the video below (run time: 5:29). Spoiler: It boils down to visionary management and a first-mover advantage in an important industry.

I invite you to learn more about David's investing ideas with a free, personal tour of his flagship service, Supernova. Inside you'll discover the science behind his market-trouncing returns. Just click here now for instant access.
