FB : Fucking Bullshit !
HFT right up your ass Suckerberg!
Etrade's website and online trading has crashed ... fyi ... not sure if it's related but ...........
Back over $40 - Fed now OWNS FB!!
Now watch the S&P close up on the day.
Headline: "Facebook saves the markets, ends streak of frightening down days"
The fair-haired one gets the institutional nod -- for a week or two..
I'm saving my money to buy into the Dancing With The Stars IPO. Just think, I will be able to own a piece of my favorite TeeVee show. Plus that stock certificate will look real nice framed up and hanging over the mantle right under the deer head. <snark>
Bernanke just announced it's time for QEFB.
I recall months ago speculation about the IPO would be that it priced between 12 and 22 somewhere. The day comes and it prices at 38, if you held 20 billion worth of shares when you originally expected to hold less than 10 billion would you also not sell? I think the three top shareholders are the sellers and the underwritters are the buyers. Probably with trillions of shares traded by the algos.
Bennie is buying
Good point -- William Banzai will probably come out with a poster on that, blending Aussie band, Men at Work's "Who can it BEE now?" with the visage of the Chairman..
That, and a nod to "38 Special"
:)
Did the Bernanke hit Ctrl + P + FB when it dropped to 38 even?
Face - Plant. Welcome to the real world of Ponzi financing. We have worthless stocks based on skittles in unicorn shit - you buy for fake Ahnold " Yah, we pump you up " price, and market reality says " WTF - ARE YOU ON CRACK ? That shit ain't worth shit. "
Failbook FLOPPED.
It will be nice to see Bernanke and Sack at the first shareholders meeting.
CHASEBOOK!!!
Who the hell cares about these assholes, move on to something else Tyler......
I’ll be happy when I see Dimon, Masters, Blankfein, Corzine et al in a Mug Book..
FacePoo
FB : Fucking Bullshit !
edit...booksh**
but on the brighter side, real estate in menlo park just got alittle bit cheaper ...
wonder how long the underwriters will be able to hold the $38 mark
They will probably hold the $38 today. But Monday, when people aren't paying as much attention, it will be look out below time.
Market seems twitchy today...
Bungee Trading!
this is even more exciting that Solumina.
Can't wait for Monday (after everyone forgets about it over the weekend).
Did they use the proceeds to fund the EU ? did they get out before today's zinga/zippo/"FACE"book crash ?
Ouch...that looks painful...shut the book right on it.
Another internet bubble flop.
Whats next Tyler?
Told ya so: Facebook is the new pets.com http://www.singledudetravel.com/2012/05/why-facebook-isnt-worth-100-bill...

Looks like Im underwater in Farmville... Looks like Ill have to foreclose.
ZH was made for days like these
That was fun! Can we do it again? Ride the ponzi wave from hell, bitches!
Apparently we can!
Good times!

wtf krugman's blog is more popular than zerohedge?
http://technorati.com/blogs/top100/page-2/
Two obvious reasons: The dumb people out number the smart people by 3-1. Also, people like "good news" rather than "bad news" (aka reality).
The day ZH becomes more popular than Krugman the main market in America will center around the going rate for Spaghetteos and shotgun shells.
Speaking of muppets -> Krugman = FAIL
Krugman is the poster child of fail.
What about Geithner? He's a bit more useless, don't ya think?
Yet another putz that lives in the village of fail.
You cannot beat krugman if you want to know the correct way to think.
People thrive on afirmation - they will die ignorant.
Enjoy!
BTFD!
BTFD next week at $22, sell the dead cat bounce at $28. JMO
(anyone can be a market "professional" thanks to Al Gore's internet!)
There are alot of oldsters that truly invented this technology leveraged by these script kiddies (Al Gore, pelosi included as a kid) . They should have just been honest and gave their citizenship like the l33t peeps from this generation.
Damn..and i bought my shares with gold. i hope it rebounds!
Book him Danno !
maybe JPM will crash it.. pay backs to the hedgie sharks. Would luv to see a battle of the titans. Take AAPL down too while your at it please.
Would love to be a fly on the trading desk wall. End of day could get really fugly.
Heavy selling pressure at $40. Lots of inventory for HFT crowd to unload.
fbugly
You know shit's fucked up if Jews are losing money.
Illuminati already made their money. Why else do you think they let this be so widely subscribed to by the proles.
That's funny, but people are making a shit ton of money off of this IPO. When you got the media pump machine on your side it's pretty easy.
"Losing money" to some people means "not making as much as my cousin at the brokerage told me I would".
Fuckin Booya!!
FB - Fake Boobs?
Anytime network T.V. gets in trouble, they have a big brouhaha about some previously censored/taboo word or visual that will now be allowed over FCC airwaves. See nip slips on dancing with the stars.
Newswire AP: Facebook announced new tag for drunk girl pictures. Fake|Real. Forward earnings estimate adjusted to "perky"
My guess is it will be under $20 by July...and when earnings come out...under $14.
Earnings? ... BAHhahahahahahaha
Brain Sack stepping in now.
What's the old saying.
first 1/2 hour is for the amatuers.
Last hour is for the pros.
It'll be interesting where this think ends up today. Wall street hates to lose money but sometimes they sure are good at it.
I think GM's and Groupons IPO's went better then this. Everyone just thought it was going to go smooth and its not so far. I hope it gets worse, just for fun.
CNBC now saying the order system clogged. This is hilarious. Talk about ringing the bell
MS out with a note: HIT LIKE
i only facebook friend scantily clad hot chicks who post pics of themselves in mirrors
It has a lot of voyeurist potential, if they can monetise it.
This may be simple minded and I might be stupid, but I told a colleague yesterday that if these genius wunderkind types like Zuckerberg are dying to sell their business, then why would I want to buy it???? Obviously, they think the cash earning potential of the business is WAY under what they can get the muppets to pay for it now. I mean, it's not like they have to sell stock to raise money for some huge capital investment like a DeathStar or anything...
Thoughts, comments?
Sometimes I think people forget why the IPO market even exists. If you're not raising cash then you're running for the exits and Facebook never had a problem raising cash before.
Agree. Have never understood why FB would go public. It's not ike they are building a new internet.
And just think it's only noon....... Just Wait until 345
$70 by then...
was it good ? for just that fempto second...atta boy ! FakeBook.
So apparently Facebook Put > Bernanke Put. Someone just threw an absurd amount of money limit bid @ $38 to keep this turd afloat.
that would be the underwriters ... its kinda their job ... how long they can keep it above $38 is another question entirely ...
Dont know what you guys are talking about?!!
Facebook shares spike on stock market debut
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18115914
Anyone catch the flash crash on ZNGA?
yes saw that, shares halted
Is that a cup and handle!?
No, that's a 5 minute old chart.
Meanwhile, Chuckie Schumer says "look at all those tax cheats!"
I can't imagine buying FB at 20, let alone 38, or 45.
Fucking tulip bulbs. Like somehow the world can't survive without a share of FB stock. Watch this IPO price get chopped in half within the year. A fantastic short.
Tulip FBulbs
HFT swarmed the spread at 38-40, look at ES_F below 1300
Don't worry. Big, bad Joe Terranova will step in with a good til cancelled 1,000,000 share buy order. Didn't he say get long Oil huge at $105?
Market Maker will not let this go below $38 today, won't happen, too embarrassing, just goes to show you that markets are manipulated
I doubt if it is the bid holding it up. Holding firm on the offer at 38 so far. It can't last forever.
Firms that got huge allocations are taking gas and pulling funds from everywhere to make sure it does not go below their allocation price.
$38 is heavily defended. They will try everything to keep it green on the first day.
facebust....
goldboom......
Fake Book.
step right up and say goodbye to $1500. get your Gold, get yur Silver on !
hey, musicians use fakebooks all the time...the ones with chords and melodies though...
Is there a GS firewall with crony investors at value 38? THis is what is implied here!
This Is Why Facebook Isn't Falling Below $38/Share - Business Insider
If you continue to scroll down that bid side you'll see my 1 share at $4 stinker.
I think it'll be filled next week.
Did the Whale prop short FB ? hmmm.. anyone seen Jamie Dimon lately ? Maybe the bad part is not knowing what your right hand is doing with your left brain ? hmmm.
What are they gonna do with all those extra balloons on the CNBC set?
'balloons' or 'buffoons'?
touché
Drained the entire grid to power that thing off $38.
+1
Solid comment. Like it.
Drained the "gold market" to power that thing, and that market's refilling rapidly.
You know what will be funny.
When phantom shares start trading.
I wonder if the SEC will do a phony investigation or just say - hey that's how we roll on Wall Street.
PhaseBook. And my screens say the financials and the indices will lead the way down, and I still see a 20-something handle for JPM. No company can safely lose 25% of its annual earnings on just one trade-position anytime it wants and retain earnings valuation and PE. But then who nose.
What is the hedge against FB at $38? How do you short common sense? Can I get a swap on IQ points falling today?
Evidently funkin' ZNGA is the hedge, shoulda had it on this A.M. as a short.
Well spotted!
I couldn't agree more!!! Let's all think happy thoughts and buy a whole bunch of FB. We love FB. We want everyone in the world to know our most intimate thoughts. Bend over!!!
Farcebook. I can tell you with absolute certainty I have never "seen" an ad on Farcebook.
Facefooked.
Actually, I have run ads on them(for our band), and while they do bring in lots of traffic to your website, it is not profitable traffic(lots of A.D.D. surfers). The mentality of facebookers is just
to graze not stay and buy, for the most part. The ads are expensive and are mainly good for getting Likes and Friend Requests. Can't eat that.
100% correct. Facebook traffic is utterly worthless, much much worse than adwords.
CIA Farcebook Fail.
GOOD.
More like fleece book, am I right?
And after months of pumping. Including the CNBC 2 week strait infomercial on Facebook. Now underwriters trying to hold it up above its IPO. Shame on them. You know when they pumped it to Retail that it was the top and Goldman selling 1 Million of shares.
GREXIT is going to dominate headlines next week.
Maybe this weekend too.
Maybe the Zuck should move to Greece...plenty of company over there...
Greek facebookies...
All flash no cash.
Underwater dismal logic.
WE ARE ZINGA !! /sarc
See spy trades around 11:50?
No one is getting trade confirmations back, even two hours later. It stinks to high heaven. This is Wall $treet waiting to see the price action. Buyers won't get their trade if the stock rises and will get their trade at the day's high if the stock sinks. I watched this happen in the eighties to the retail customers if they didn't call back to hear their trade confirmations.
Now the Stocks that had a huge run up are trying desperatly to hold their gains. So many failing.
Spamming useless information to people you barely know.
Nice business model. I like the www.dogshit.com pump and dump model better. FacePlace won't last. But the CIA will take it over to keep tabs on the Sheeple and their droppings. FB = nice NDAA tool
Hey guys, can anyone tell what real value this company has? I mean if I could sell gossip that poses as "social networking" then maybe it might be worth something.
As far as I can tell facefail is nothing more than a frat party without the booze where all the inside jokes are recorded for future "posterity". Never had a facefail account and never will.
Roopert Murdock announced he is taking over MyFace and it's going down like a Chinese hooker.
the winkelvi bought some fb puts...
Wall Street Sold their shares to all of the Retail Buyers. Why would they support the Stock?
Schadenfreude!
Capitalism and the U.S. Free Markets are now but a bifurcated symbiotic market? It is but a faceless book of atrophy,... spoon feeding the enfeebled senses with tainted fruit. The financial system 'NOW' belongs to AAPL & FB! Indeed, 1984 wasn't so long ago, that it surely must make us pause at the present road-map,... such that our divine masters have graveled arduously so long for our very well being. Thus, as the road to hell is most often paved with good intentions - it is but a clarion call that suspends the REAL animation? How quaint these modern apotheosis show their wares of final destitution? Surely, some Cassandra visualizes a "Bad Moon Rising"!
