The f*** up was from SEC and FB not Morgan Stanley. Scott - the analyst was right in revising his buy recommendation so late in the day. Face book are the conmen here, they filled a revised info memorandum a few days to trading day and thick in the middle of road shows. This info mem had revised revenue forecasts for this and next year. Morgan was simply taking care of their clients which is the right thing to do. SEC should take care of wananchi first and rest of investors thereafter. What should have happened is SEC should have delayed commencement of trading by a few weeks to allow the market digest the information and buy orders to be amended. They kept mum and are now acting like politicians!

Somehow FB set the stock price out of the blues. Really???
Yes, SEC is also to blame as well.



The company had effectively traded for years on opaque second markets where it changed hands at exorbitant prices despite little to no financial information on the company being publicly available. The reports of Facebook's booming valuation on these markets fed the belief that ravenous demand for Facebook was inevitable heading into its IPO.

everyone is on the other side of FB trade..bearish.options start trading Tuesday and many will be shorting with both hands.I agree facebook is way overpriced but i think the big money will try turn this thing around at about 28-30 for a short squeeze rally back to 40.I traded it last week between 31-33 but will buy n hold this week for the squeeze.

There are short squeezes and there are short squeeze with court cases overhang.
Caution... When I said the goal posts were shifted just before the IPO someone said I was being an idiot smile
Follow Groupon before investing here even as a trader.

To all of you who bought into the Facebook IPO:

You just got Zucker punched!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

That formula one IPO is a cash out for CVC capitals partners who have been cashing out for a while. At least this one the P/E is around 18-22 unlike that FB P/E of 100?! However, it not a good an IPO to get involved with. Note that one JP Morgue will also be cashing out their stake as well as the estate of the bankrupt Lehman Bros. We know how good the banksters have got at selling shitty deals.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and UBS were hired to lead the IPO.

Goal post shifting yet again...

Do they have the muscle (financials and skill) to compete with android let alone Apple's Iphone?

@Drunkard - unless your market feed is from an unearthly exchange, the FB ticker is reading 6%+ down today!? Current FB price is $29.77. In 8 trading days the $30 handle is lost.

Really?? It touched an all time low today according to Reuters.
Stock of the world's No. 1 social network briefly skirted a record trough of $30.03 and was down 5.6 percent at $30.12 at midmorning.

Let me translate for him, he meant that FB is rumored to be acquiring Opera systems, so the stock price of Opera is up 26%, not FB stock. Im working double time to translate his Spanglish Laughing out loudly though on looking up Opera Systems, Yahoo! search had no such results!! So maybe Opera needs to be translated for me too!!
On a serious note, before you make so much fun of FB, lets not forget just how much cash they have on hand. I think this will turn out to be a Cinderella story....

I thot u meant FB was up 26%. Until FB figures out a way of monetizing mobile app traffic, they'll experience the Nokia & Microsoft mobile tie up flop. FB has a lot of free cash, but their rushed acquisitions don't send a cool message to deep pocket investors. So far PIMCO & Buffet have voted it a no go zone. Just hoping you dont get trapped in it like britank. Or do u want another shorting bet with me again like last year with britank smile

And here we see 'fadebook' closed at $28.84. Down more than 20% a few days after listing. A lot of angry class-action lawsuits out there...

Dear @genghiscapital - please give us your views on this thing. We need ayes & nays to balance since nays so far outweigh...
