    He's one of the few people who has actually made money on FB's stock. He must be an evil 1%'er!

    Think of it this way... it could've become the new le of your book if you held onto it.

    "Keeping Facebook Stock: The Book of Stupid I've Done"

    Has a nice ring to it

    hard to say. last quarter they had a one time charge that meant the difference between profit and loss, so unless they've got another one time charge lined up they should be profitable this quarter. of course if they're not "profitable enough" to make the big fish happy then $15 or lower is still easily doable.
    Well, I expect a profit for Christmas advertisement. This will boost the unsuspecting investors to buy and raise prices. I predict they will be disappointed after that as the next quarters will drop again. I believe the stocks value will then trade around the low range I speak of.

    Right now might be a good time to buy, and hold till after next quarter.

    And for you, one post closer to your 70,000. I'm guessing 48 hours away, maybe less! God bless

    All those guys that can now sell stock from their options are going to owe taxes on it whether they sell or not. I suspect they are all gonna dump the out of it as soon as they can.

    Meh. Plenty of blame to go around. Ebersman wasn't the one fueling the hype, nor was he the only one who got caught up in it. To try and pin it all on him is an over simplification.

    BTW, FB down to $17.60 as I type this....

    That being said, looks like Forbes agrees with the NYT and disagrees with me.

    I believe it has to do with monetizing the mobile services. The advertising directed at me via google and facebook has also gotten much better. I got a 75% off coupon for some glasses from GlassesUSA when I started shopping for a new pair, recently.

    Twitter Files for IPO

    The long-awaited day has come.

    Twitter, the 200 million user microblogging service, has filed for its initial public offering. Fittingly, the only public acknowledgement came in the form of a simple tweet.

    “We’ve confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO,” the company said in a tweet on Thursday. “This Tweet does not cons ute an offer of any securities for sale.”

    A Twitter spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Update: A Twitter spokesperson confirmed that the tweet is accurate.)

    Twitter’s disclosure of its filing is a spin on a new “secret” IPO process made possible by the recent JOBS act, which gives companies the ability to make their initial filings with the SEC without public scrutiny.

    Assuming Twitter does eventually decide to sell shares to the public, it will have to disclose financial do ents to the rest of world. In the meantime, the company and its bankers can communicate with the SEC in private.

    The fact that Twitter is taking advantage of a JOBS filing means that the company’s annual revenue is less than $1 billion, since anyone above that threshold can’t use that process. “Secret” IPOs have been popular throughout 2013, though this is the first time we’ve seen a company acknowledge the initial S-1 filing in public.

    One major benefit to filing confidentially is that if Twitter does have any issues to hash out with the SEC early on in the process, we won’t get to see that particular sausage get made.

    If, for instance, Groupon had been able to use the confidential process, investors wouldn’t have watched the back and forth over a novel accounting method that Groupon initially wanted to use and eventually abandoned.

    In hindsight, the timing of Twitter’s filing has been foreshadowed by its actions. On Monday, the company made its biggest acquisition to date by buying MoPub, the mobile ad exchange startup, in a deal primarily composed of Twitter stock. On that same day, CEO Costolo appeared at TechCrunch’s Disrupt conference and made a speech that was notable because it contained almost no information about his company.
