Zucked Earnings, Bitches!
FACEPLANT!!! Down 9% afterhours. Monetize this... Marky.
It's almost as though Draghi knew how bad earnings would be today......
(not that they haven't been horrid so far)
Good thing Tyler lost some credibility pumping Biderman, otherwise this post would look like Tyler knew who to publsih, like not guys that go long FB.
Way to go Tyler. Not only do you post idiot Biderman relentlessly, you also post Junjauh, and other such idiot bears. Your blog is a snowflake, buddy.
down goes biderman..down goes biderman...
Ha ha ha re FB, SBUX and AMZN.
GOLD, bitchez!

CNBC has a totally different look on things, and that Big PUKE Gartman will one day come to eat crow.
Super Mario will have an end like Mussolini, just a matter of time. His Italian brothers will deal with him.
"This caught me completely off guard," admits esteemed investor Dennis Gartman on CNBC's Fast Money Halftime Report.
Draghi pledged to do whatever necessary to save the euro. "And believe me, it will be enough," he said.
"Immediately I sold some of my short positions," Gartman explains. "And after comments like that, you can't cover fast enough."
I just can't laugh enough "And believe me, I can't quit laughing".
"MR Lennon Hendrix"...
Stick around, it's too early for you to be slinging so much SMACK!
Remember...He who laughs last, laughs the loudest!...By the way, I happen to think "Biderman" is one of the better analyst...As for MY MAIN MAN, none better!!
Too early? Biderman said he would buy the IPO and then he went and put it on his conviction buy list at 31. Biderman's logic is "Rahrah rahr rah! Buy facebook!" What a fucking genius!
he bragged that he bought it for 30.00....than recently smiled cause he was up 5%....i dont know if he had a brain fart or what....but even a nobody no nothing like me knew it was just a churn....i have never ever saw a stock pararded around like that before...but it was the same as groupon, gm, et. al. jokes,...so how he fell for it i dont know...but we all fuck up so.....
Right now 24.00 (10%)
Vey, maybe if we move to Sausalito and tell everyone the obvious things about the economy but to buy fb Tyler will publish our work.
@ veyron, Mr Lennon Hendrix
+ 1, nice!
that's minus
(10%) = -10% in most financial reports ...
I don't know if any of you are logged in to comment on CNBC, but I've noticed something. I've been trying to comment on that site and it's increasingly having technical trouble and won't let you comment. FB is going down the tubes and this earnings show that it's not a viable machine no matter how much CNBC pumped it up that week to get people to buy. Our market is a third world one right now, where the govt. and MSM and rich manipulate it in order to make sure HAPPY THOUGHTS HAPPY THOUGHTS. All this news should have had it in the red tonight and them talking about it.
But....surely this just means now theres more ROOM for more HOPE!
Now's my chance to BTFD! I'd rather watch re-runs of Melrose Place.
I heard Amazon just put Facebook stock wallpaper on sale. And you get a free Starbucks coupon if you act now!!!
Is Groupon involved? (-8.7%)
that's minus
Now come the share lock up expirations.
243,000,000 shares in the 2nd week of August. 10% of outstanding shares. All running for the exit door.
I thought the # was 268mm then another 1.7B by years end.
It's going to be a fucking bloodbath.
Facefucks.com
So AMZN earns 1 cent, a fucking penny and advises a loss for next quarter and the stock is at 217. Where are my beads. This is beyond absurd.
My advice to you: start drinking HEAVILY.
it's working for me.
Advice seconded!
don't know what heavily means, but advice thirded anyhoo
No, where is your bong, this is absurd.
Hopefully they'll "beat expectations" next Q...lol.
We going to the moon baby! MAGIC all around!
In the famous words of one Stephen S. Roach;
Crack-cocain is a hell of drug.
Tyler, you know I love you, but for pity's sake, could you use a color scheme that is actually visible? Like, oh, say, a white background?
ahhhhh, a bandwagon opportunity...
yeah ty, WTF
Fakebook should be trading at single digit prices...single digits south of the decimal point that is.
Give it til mid Aug. It will get there.
Zuckerberg dead ahead!! 18% haircut, ouch...
You don't really think he cares do you? He's got his loot. Now he's just sitting back and laughing at all the suckers he sold this pig to.
Zuck sold at $38. Pretty shrewed if you ask me.
-18% = cuts the head?
It's time to invent 'The High Frequency Guillotine'
We already have those, we're just misusing them. Right now, we use them to fly around, when we should be tossing in banksters and corrupt politicians.
And yet the, " Bung Holes" at CNBS were pumping homebuilders,even after that miserable housing number! I wish my mute button had a Santelli , Grasso, Kernan ect... you get my point , voice recodnition system on it!
Well surely your remote has an "UP" and "DOWN" channel button you idiot................
Try the POWER button.
No shit but there are voices that are painful to listen to as you run from the kitchen and dive over the dog onto the couch and go from normal to half mute to mute. That 10-15 seconds feels like eternity and makes my ears feel like bleeding when I hear 1 second of Ofuckya.
they shoud have been....you must have missed larry yun and his eloquint explaination about the inventory shortage....i just called a realtor to list my home to help them with that problem.....my home should be sold in...3....2....1...
The U.S. consumer is dead.
Everybody is making money
Yes Yen, I like that, a voice recognition system. Perfect.
23 handle
FB down 18%. Great IPO> Well done asshole bankers.
Quick!!!...ban short selling!!!
Not until I cover.
FB = 2012's NFLX
Profits? Who needs profits? Obummer should be pleased as punch,except for one small detail. How are companies supposed to provide mandated health insurance with no money?
Seeing lots of block dumps on various names not involved in earnings tonight...dumps well below the bid. At some point, the SPY is going to have to come to grips with the fact that its underlying issues are being destroyed.
What a stupid and corrupted market. Good grief...
Most of these AH dumps are priced to four decimal points, well below the LOD, and large. Yet another scam the criminal syndicate known as Wall Street perpetrates...selling into dark pools in a way so that the transaction is not picked off.
Good lord...when do we see the handcuff perp walks finally?
The perps own the fucking system - why the hell would they arrest each other? (Not that I don't agree with your sentiment).
and the SPY's are ... wait for it... GREEN !
priced in already"
How the fuck is AMZN up or even flat??? Unreal...
The hope and faith in market 'players' is off the charts. Amazon is one of the annointed ones. No matter how much they lose, they are only 'investing for the future'. The future that never comes.
Looks like they burned about $1.5b in cash first two quarters this year, will likely burn more next quarter given guidance, and they have to build inventory for christmas season. And if the consumer rolls over after they build inventory, they may just have to raise some funds. A far cry from a cash machine like Apple, but in Benny's world it's a $100b company trading at triple digit multiples on unrealistic expectations.
I've actually been buying shit off of Amazon lately. But I'm still pissed at how hard a time I'm having getting more magazines for my 308.
Facebook, Inc.:
After Hours: 23.90 -2.94 (-10.97%)
Jul 26, 4:35PM EDTi only gave you a red arrow , to indicate Facebook is on its way below $20
I only gave you a red arrow , to indicate Facebook will be practically non existent like myspace.
I only gave you a red arrow, to well, hell I didn't want to be left out!
Hmmm...Zynga is now cheaper than a Zinger from KFC.
Both will give you the shits though.
+1
Hilarious.
wheres Robo's take?
I'm sure Robo 'saw it comin', from there in his Boner Fest.
I had to google "zynga" to find out what it was.. online Games? what a joke.. in a Social network environment.. bwahaha.
Glad I got in at $38/share! This web stuff is a rocket ship to the moon!
Some of the “smart” money paid $42 per share
Ha! They must feel silly now. I only paid $38. This Facebook is going to be the next MySpace, I swear! Maybe as big as Napster!
Long way to go though until they can even carry the towel of Pets.com!
Biderman will carry that towel all day.
This is all about the pathetic iPhone driven U.S. economy
If only there was no Bernanke or clown Draghi QE involved, like you know just cutting interest rates... It would safe to short these POS all the way to 0... But now unfortunately too dangerous... Very annoying...
Robo is a bond trader now - with the few pennies he has left
By market comentary he's more likely a bong trader.
Yep, like I said, could get real ugly. But the real number to watch is tomorrow - GDP for 2Q. It will be interesting to see if/how they massage the numbers. Also got my upside gap filled on NYSE to 7750 (high today 7770), just based off of charts which someone suggested didn't work. LOL.
you just know that those 2 Winklevoss twins, will be the last 2 idiots , left holding shares of Facebook
dont worry their family has almost as much money as Zuckerberg.
GOD DAMN! Watching Barney Fwank on CNBC......every time I see that dick there or anywhere else he pisses me the fuck off. What a fucking asshole.
That guys photo is in the encyclopedia under both the words "asshole" and "sociopath."
If he wasn't a politician he'd be one of those FUCKWADS in that Las Vegas jailhouse yelling about shit and fighting and finally getting restrained in the chair. Fuck that crackhead.
MS sure battin a thousand with those homeruns Facefuck and zynga.. i gotta hire them
They are so Zucked. The Q is going to be ringer for them.
Truly the next Lehman,
looks like i just got zucked for € 70 in 58 FB calls lol
*they should offer Orca vs. Monstersquid battles in the tank. just make up your mind already. what am i - rat, dog, monkey, magpie, killerwhale ?
If a computer beeps after buying into the teeth of Draghi propaganda, but no humans are at work to hear it, does it make a sound?
Awww, but today was so fun. BS and the market goes up. Reality and gravity bring it back down.
Hilsenbath better be thinking up something to tweet.
Hello monkey, put that hammer down.
Wow, FB is going to be right up there with VG as far as making money for shareholders go! LMFAO
They must have found something nice in the earnings. AMZN is up 2% AH.
I was going to comment earlier before Facebook's earnings that there is no way in hell that number was going to a a beat or a miss before items. There was way too much riding on this report.
The number is pure fabricated bullshit but Zuckerfuck must have thought matching estimates exactly would cause shares to stay put where they were trading. Perhaps even get a nice pop on meeting targets.
Fuckerberg won't make that mistake another time. Expect Faceplant to hire the shadiest five star chef CFO they can find to serve the next earnings report up extra crispy. I expect that next quarter Facebook will report earnings triple the highest estimate, making everyone freak out and finally start looking into corporate finances.

Amazon can't make money with the margins they work on, and they won't let other corporations make any money either by stealing their business. Amazon is also a hotbed for stolen and counterfeit goods. The company doesn't care, and has some sort of ironclad legal excuse that they do not knowingly allow Amazon marketplace members to sell stolen or counterfeit goods, yeah right.
Fucking Starbucks believes they should be worshiped for saving 8 jobs in Ohio at a company making coffee mugs. WOW EIGHT FRICKIN JOBS!!! HERE'S YOUR NOBEL PRIZE!!!! Of course that is better than Obama.
"In the report, the company said its operating margin was negative 63 percent during the second quarter and that capital expenditures had increased 213 percent from a year ago to hit $413 million." Sounds like Uncle Sam. Maybe it should be going on the stock market.
So, how can FB make 12 cents a share when its operating margin is minus 63%?
Revenue for the second quarter totaled $1.18 billion, an increase of 32%
Second quarter costs and expenses were $1.93 billion, an increase of 295%
In the real world that´s called being in the red.
Internet bubble. Wrong century.
Would have loved to see Maria Myfartshavearoma go hysterical over this shitstorm
