Damn sorry I missed this one but I didn't have any money left after buying GM at 35.00.

I investment my total retirement in FB, played their stupid farmtown and maxed out my credit cards buying stuff I didn't need.

I had 3,000 facebook friends who all abandoned me when I asked for a handout after the IPO went south and left me broke.

I even went so far as to boycott Government Motors for abandoning FB advertising and bought a used 1985 Toyota instead.

Now I got an empty wallet, no bank account and too old to get a job to fund my retirement.

The tales we weave which mice and men believe.

What are the retail clients of Morgan Stanly Smith Barney feeling?    Bent over.

No reason for the brokers to call them and get them to sell today, if they do, they lose their sales credit for selling them IPO shares on Friday.  What a disaster for the clients.

Was it legal for underwriter jerkoffs to not let the price drop below 38? Sounds like this thing would have traded to 28 on day 1.

What a joke, poor Benny we all know he was hoping that FB would take over the reins and push the market forward. Oh well, looks like its time to print again. I am sure that Beeny will buy both FB and APPL when he is ready to take the NASDAQ up. I wouldn't short this company, even though it is clearly overvalued. It will be too easy for Ben to use these two stocks to drive the NASDAQ...

This is a symptom of a stock market in which the prices of stock have nothing to do with the underlying value of the companies.  Perception, propaganda, and hype have more to do with stock price than sales and net revenues.  Why did anyone prop up a $100 billion valualtion for a company that maybe posts $1 billion net revenue?  Have we forgotten business school 101 basics?

What if all of this money had been invested in physical gold and silver instead?  Do you think those prices would be off 20% today.  LMFAO

These markets deserve to be treated as if they were simple video games.  At least in Vegas you get a free drink while you're being fucked.

Morgan Stanley fucked up another IPO with 25% too many shares.  They only paid a 25 cent concession to brokers to add insult to injury.   

Mon, 05/21/2012 - 10:35 | 2447463 Winston Smith 2009

Based upon a reality-based IPO valuation for FB, it's one hell of a lot more than 25% too many shares offered.  See my post below on that.

Mon, 05/21/2012 - 10:40 | 2447401 Winston Smith 2009
Winston Smith 2009's picture

For the FB IPO valuation, it should have been compared to an established, successful firm with exactly the same business model (Internet ad clicks):

FB 104.81B mkt cap, 2011 profit $1B, mkt cap/earnings = 105 (INSANE)
GOOG 195.75B mkt cap, 2011 profit $37.9B, mkt cap/earnings = 5

What each FB share would be worth if its IPO mkt cap/earnings ratio is reduced to Google's figure of 5:

5 x 1B profit/2.74B shares = $1.82/share (at most!).

Any idiot who invests in FB at its current share price deserves what they get.

I mean is anyone suprised?  it is fucking comical.  The biggest IPO jerk off scheme with a site that caters to soccer moms with nothing better to do post pictures of their ugly kids.  And fucktards bitching and moaning about this and that.  It is all a time waste. 

 

IMO the Fakebook IPO will mark the beginning of the flush.

 

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Here's a joke fit for the Facebook conundrum...

A woman goes into a doctor's office for a regular check-up. As she's waiting in the examination room, in walks an old Japanese Doctor.

He instructs her to remove all of her clothes, which she does. He then tells her to turn around, so she complies. Then he tells her to walk across the room, and this she does as well. Next he tells her to get on her hands and knees and crawl across the floor toward him quickly. Finally he tells her to crawl away from him.

When she stands back up, he murmurs to himself, "This bad, this very very bad...".

"Doctor, what exactly is the problem," asks the lady nervously.

"You have Zachary disease," replies the Doctor.

"Zachary disease? Oh my goodness, what is that?"

The doctor says, "That mean you face rook Zachary like rear end"

Quote from CNN today:

"More than 80 million shares changed hands in the first 30 seconds of trading on Friday"

Me thinks this IPO was merely hyper-hyped only to let those running the high-speed/volume bots run the price up and sell it all off.  Now, there are going to be suckers all the way down to the real value of this stock... probably around $5/share.
