All Hail to the great Moolaram
He`s leading the world`s biggest scam
This demon of money
Makes things appear sunny

Separate train of thought: I ASSUMED (and all that goes with assuming) that NDAQ could manage the flow of orders so I thought I might see a quick pop up in NDAQ once FB opened. I just happened to be exiting my NDAQ position, and during THAT minute, the stock dropped 3%. Typical of my luck.
Is this an appropriate time to blame HFT for NDAQ's troubles? How does one handle speed-of-light order pumping-and-cancelling? You KNOW the vacuum sweeper algos were running at max speed.
Amazing the place didn't crash. I wish I had thought about the algobots before placing that "clever" order. Not enough paranoia in me, I guess.
Have a nice weekend....

Pull up that pic of Zuckerberg and his gang at the NASDAQ opening launch in your mind:
We’re Sheryl Sandberg’s lonely hearts club band,
We hope you have enjoyed the show.
We’re Sheryl’s phony Disneyland fantasy band,
She’s sorry but it’s time to go.
Hi WB7, here's my latest.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
Clouds for information and bubbles for money.
I wonder if Morgan Stanley agrees with the Social Media shills that this was priced perfectly.
FB a major face off, or should I say fugly.
This was hyped by CNBC so badly this week and yesterday and look at the stock now, it's only 23 cents over the start price of 38 dollars a share. With the help of the big boys front running the orders and keeping the investors blind to if the buy or sell order went through they couldn't keep it up.
Correction htey are not investors they are muppets.
screw slap your facebook, holding out for bigmeany. com ipo
Banzai, that first portrait is a brilliant take on Dali. You really captured his glassy-eyed expressionless alien-ness. Am I the only one who is creeped-out by that person? He scares me. The "face" of facebook.
"Why you do dis to me Demi?"
You know you gotta do the whole Facebook spinning it's head around, slingin pea soup everywhere thingy when it happens.
Just plantin seeds ;-)
Waiting for Zuck to piss on the carpet.
If he's got any sense he's dumping on the casinos carpet ;-)
Had to laugh at some of the periphery stuff associated with the Facebook IPO...California actually counted the "projected" tax proceeds to lower their "projected deficit"...and it's still sixteen >>>billion<<< short.
And the "projected" sixteen billion deficit is up from the nine billion "projected" only three months ago.
So, all they gotta do now is have another few thousand or so IPO's of this magnitude and California is solvent again...lol...that's how out of control deficit spending is.
Seriously funny stuff WB ... keep up the God's work.
There was once was an arrogant kahkzucker,
Who fucked everyone,
including his mutha,
He worked for DE Shaw and owns First Wind too,
Was Treasury Secretary and a Harvard Prez ewe,
He like to see his face on pages of a book,
but we all still know he's a pig fukah too.

Speaking of Facebook (OK, no relevancy here, just another feeble attempt at linkage), here's my end of the week rant:
THE OBAMA RECORD
Overturned: About a year and a month ago, President Obama went on national television supporting the firing of Black-American teachers in Chicago.
Fortunately, a federal judge ruled their firing to be unlawful termination.
Overturned: Sometime back, Shirley Sherrod was unethically dismissed from the Agriculture Department, and her unlawful termination was settled out of court to her satisfaction.
Overturned: The other week, Dr. Cate Jenkins, who was unethically terminated from the EPA under the Obama administration (she was officially cited as an heroic whistleblower during the Bush administration), was reinstated to her position, with back pay, by a federal court.
Overturned: A U.S. District Court in New York has blocked provisions in last year’s Defense authorization bill that allow for military detention for terror suspects, throwing a wrench in the debate that will take place on the House floor Thursday.
District Judge Katherine Forrest ruled against the U.S. government and in favor of a group of civilian activists and journalists who had sued over the detention provisions in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs had said they feared being detained indefinitely by the law.

Wonderful compositions. I detect maturity with these recent additions to the artist's oeuvre.
i can honestly say i have never clicked an ad on facebook
I don't think anyone does. Most people click on ads accidentally.
Well, looks like I had the close nailed.
i called the open at 42 from my truck last eve. "looks like i had that one nailed" too. PAGING SPOCK! PAGING SPOCK!
Mistake #1 was picking MorganStanley as the lead underwriter. They're capable of supporting the IPO price? ppfffft.
Mistake #2 was negotiating the underwriting fees down to 1% instead of the usual 3%. Not a good idea to chump your local bankstas.
Mistake #3 was Zuck showing up at the NYC roadshows wearing a hoodie. Not a good idea to disrespect the bankstas.
I would expect GoldmanSquid to run this P.O.S. into the ground.
leaving the fact that the Squid is STILL behind it all ("syndiciate puts up 1 billion so junior doesn't have a bad day") Morgan Stanley made a KILLING on Groupon.

You’re missing one character. Sheryl Sandberg. Facebook’s COO. She’s the Black Swan. The Wall Street insider plant who will ultimately be the key to their ultimate big money scheme. First they have to build her up more, as the true force and face behind the company. I’ve already seen mainstream media reports pushing along these lines. Once that’s done, the fateful day will come when she announces her departure from Facebook and the stock drops 30% in two hours, one day after Goldman shorts the shit out of it. Don’t worry about her shares. She will have liquidated most of them by then, or at least made prearrangements to do so safely. In exchange she will be marked for a top government job, possibly in Treasury, the SEC, or a governorship in a key state. I even saw one media report suggesting the possibility of her making a presidential run one day. No shit. It’s all trumpeted in a positive light, of course, as if she has already proven herself and deserving of anyone of those jobs. I mean, come on already, think of the children she’s already saved. How can we possibly survive in a world without her at the helm?
Zuckerberg is the only one in his twenties. All the other executives are much older than him. Wonder what says.
I don't think the longevity of this company has anything to do with the people running it. It is actually a very boring platform and the people working at FB couldn't even come up with a mobile image sharing APP. Their iPhone APP sucks big time. What the hell do they do all day?
Someone is going to come up with a much more creative platform and that will be the end of it.
I'll tell you something else. Most of the geniuses writing about FB don't even use it. So how the fuck do they have a clue. I at least tried to engage on it during OWS.
I hated it.
Now I just share my posts on FB but I rarely look at my wall or timeline or whatever they call it this week.
Take a look at Henry Blodgets FB page then look at William Banzai-Seven.
You should try Pinterest - far more creative, and your pics would be perfect!!!
They don't encourage people to post their own stuff.

Dude, most anger I think I have ever seen you express.
I personally avoid all that social shit.
Waste of time.
But we are in the age where every ego needs some kind of massage.
Sad really.
Nah, if you want to see anger you have to look at my posts last July and concerning Bloomberg and OWS.
you should just see me personally. OH WAIT! YOU DO!
When does her name reach the top of the list? The dumber they are the higher they go.
Banzai, the Moolaram was excellent. And The Limerick King is on his game. Nice
You're the man
It's probably just me, but whenever I see this Zuckerberg's face, all I wanna do is poke him in the snout.
Zuck's not happy either. "they had plans"...no what i mean. "And i ain't talkin' in the Carib." These folks are the real deal. "Back to the Google Plus division"...

Which Trout are you?
I can think of three.

You are a real Wizard Mr Banzai,congrats,Octoberman or not,mid may or not.
Wonder what a, Bookface, would like in this world of,brooked faces,gota get out to get into it,or is it,gota get into it, to get out,my bookface is cooked all up with Brooks,even a Rebekah Book,which i had 38 dollars to spend to get this gloria to,from commercial propaganda land.

WAR PIGS: Carlyle Group's Lopsided IPO That No One Cares About
The Carlyle Rot - Another Thumbs Down For The IPO
Both the Facebook and Carlyle Groups IPO’s were totally tilted in the issuers favor. In today's Paper Casino they are indicative of the times (the house always wins) and a pending top.
When the public demands the bag, It’s not a bad idea to give it to them.

Zynga's getting Corzined, or is it Green Mountain Coffee'd?
Speaking of Corzine, did you catch U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Martin Glenn jumping on James Koutoulas for having expressed suspicion that customer money could be at JPMorgan.
Koutoulas was rebuked by the judge for filing "frivolous" court papers attacking the mounting fees of Louis Freeh, the "trustee" unwinding the MF Global parent company. (He's as "trustworthy" and Corzine is "Honorable".)
I'm so sick of this take over of the US judiciary. There is absolutely no depth of degradation these attorneys and their handlers won't attempt to subvert. Anarchy may actually prove to be an improvement.
imo.
