I doubt he is losing any sleep over this. God bless
I agree. He already got paid.
It's fun reading this thread after the fact. I'll have to look up more info on underwriters... unless someone wants to give me a quick down and dirty summary.
This. I've got a mutual fund for retirement, but it pretty much invests in relatively stable companies (pepsis, walmarts, etc etc). At least, they were stable last time I checked.
Plus I started that when the stock market bottomed out, so I shouldn't be down too bad.
I haven't a clue what to say. I have no idea how they could have been so wrong, unless it is either a symptom of our new education standards, or corruption.
Yep.
Unless you have the time to do some lengthy research, or are psychic, very few individual stocks are a safe way to invest. The only good ones are among those that pay out regular capital gains and/or dividends.
I agree. Stick with mutual finds. Most mutual find managers keep a sane balance to not go upside-down with them.
greed. It's all about greed.
they knew exactly what they were doing. Just trying to steal as much money as they can from those dumb morons before the next economic collapse.
like taking candy from a baby
alot of IPOs have been postponed till next year man, be stupid to be floating anything in this climate of austerity and teh financial ins utions
short term if you wanna make quick trades and money, then should keep an eye out for good stocks....the best stocks are mainly ppl really need and companys that hold a fkn monopoly for something...
have u check germanys latest govt bonds offering...lmao they keep ur money for free with no % on deposit, other words negative bonds...
Yep. Good time to stay defensive and just hunker down in blue chip dividend payers. IMHO at least........
So they "stole" as much money as they could from people who willingly bought their stock even with all the valuation questions, then planned on losing 25% of their new-found wealth in a couple of weeks, and another 6% of the remainder so far today?
I'd say they didn't know exactly what they were doing.
LOL "losing"
they didn't lose . They made 100 billion out of thin air and then the 25% you claim they "lost" was just that, thin air.
they still keeping 75% of 100 billion and will be cashing out most of it.
lol thin air
Why do you hate the free market and entrepreneurs?
entrepreneurs
the big fish that cheated the retail investors even given inside information?
like I said, the robbers will cash in regardless:
Facebook already unleashed millions of shares to wary investors. Now the technology giant's early investors are about to see if they can force-feed millions more.
Starting in just a few months, select insiders and early investors in Facebook will be free to sell their shares as the so-called lock-up period expires. Some fear the flood of stock available for trading could further inundate investors and water down Facebook's share price, already 26% below the $38 initial public offering price. Facebook fell 65 cents Wednesday to $28.19.

Why do you hate investor risk and capitalism?
that boat sailed a long time ago.
That's a bull throwaway line from a person who never knows what he's talking about.
calling todays US Economic System, Capitalism
I'm sure you leave cookies and milk for Santa too![]()
They didn't sell 100 Billion of stock. Not even close.
You never explain what you mean what you spout bull like that.
Explain.
The valuation at 100 billion directly affected the share price which in turn valuated the initial big investors shares. Greed is what caused this IMO because they wanted the biggest cake possible to start with.
When they start cashing out they will be taking real money and leaving air filled shares.
They sold 180 million shares. Do the math.
He won't.
