I just don't quite understand Facebook at times, why spend $1 Billion on Instagram only to create a competitor in Facebook Camera? Was the acquisition just to get rid of competition?

Days of Wild User Growth Appear Over at Facebook - http://online.wsj.com/ar...577454970244896342.html
Oh why didn't they publish such bearish news on FB before the listing? That's a rhetorical question. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Facebook IPO: The Biggest Loser Appears to be UBS - http://www.valuewalk.com...oser-appears-to-be-ubs/
Quote:Switzerland’s UBS AG (USA) (NYSE:UBS) is now reported to be the biggest loser. While the bank has not disclosed the total loss realized, The Wall Street Journal and CNBC have estimated the loss to be around $350 million.
If these reports stand are true, then UBS will be the largest loser in the IPO to date. The Switzerland based bank has vowed to use all means to recoup its losses, but insisted that it is yet to file a lawsuit over the matter, a company spokesperson said. UBS has vowed to recoup those losses with whatever means... Short sellers will get killed soon from the current rebound! No need of playing ball with the ponzi master. You get hurt badly all the time... Morgan Stanley Facebook IPO: Small Investors Screwed Again? And you wonder why the ponzi masters call us muppets! http://www.forbes.com/si...nvestors-screwed-again/ Quote:Why any investor would willingly do business with Morgan Stanley is hard to understand given their track record of governmental violations and questionable business operations. Could it be perhaps that investors’ opinion of MS is based primarily on the image projected through their not inconsiderable budget for public relations, marketing and advertising rather then these public facts?

It is sad that though a huge portion of Facebook has been out with the IPO, only losses have constantly been reported other than what the people actually thought things would go.
And it seems like Mark Cuban, the owner of last year's NBA champion team was one of those who got robbed almost 200 thousand dollars because of losses his investment suffered.

Facebook email user usurp creates anger storms... www.bbc.com/news/technology-18590929Seeking alpha still maintains its strong sell recommendation 2 months after the IPO float - http://seekingalpha.com/...ck-analysis-strong-sell
At $31.36, FB's trailing P/E is an eye popping 70+. How the hell are they supposed to make such outsized profits going forward to maintain that lofty P/E?! My target still remains $10 or lower! $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

A BBC investigation suggests companies are wasting large sums of money on adverts to gain "likes" from Facebook members who have no real interest in their products. It also appears many account holders who click on the links have lied about their personal details. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18813237

Facebook reports loss due to Zuckerberg payout Facebook has reported a $157m (£100m) loss on payments to shareholders such as chief executive Mark Zuckerberg in its first results since its eagerly anticipated stock market listing in May. Second quarter costs and expenses nearly quadrupled, up 295% to $1.93bn from the same period last year. Excluding staff share schemes, Facebook would have made a profit of $295m. In its statement, Facebook said the rise was driven primarily by "share-based compensation expense". Shares fell 11% in after-hours trade in New York to a record low of $23.94 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19004005

Soon overbullish aka hype-star FB analysts will be eating humble pies this way - http://go.bloomberg.com/...-zynga-analyst-at-btig/
As for Sanford C clients, they must be a happy lot as the firm was right to make a $25 call slump for FB on listing. FB has slumped to test the $23 handle. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Wow! FB price slamdunk has costed a big mboy loads of losses... UBS Profit Falls 58% on Investment Banking, Facebook LossQuote:UBS AG (UBSN), Switzerland’s biggest bank, said second-quarter profit fell 58 percent, missing analysts’ estimates, as the company’s investment bank lost money on the Facebook (FB) Inc. stock sale. http://www.bloomberg.com...tment-banking-loss.html
Quote:The equities unit’s revenue was hurt by what UBS called a “gross mishandling of Facebook’s market debut by Nasdaq.” The bank, which entered orders for Facebook shares multiple times because Nasdaq wasn’t confirming them “for several hours,” said it will take legal action against the exchange. That last quote means only one thing - FB stock is going to tank badly... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

[quote=hisah]Wow! Apple is almost approaching $500B market cap with a Fwd P/E of 10. At the current price of $519 it is so overbought on the daily chart. Why would one get into facebook's IPO with Apple being on a cheap fwd P/E... Which firm will out-live the other... http://finance.yahoo.com...le=off;source=undefined[/quote] The day Facebook will unveil its own phones capable of transacting, that's when you will see the price shoot up like mad.

"Facebook's first tier of lock-up restrictions go away on Aug. 16, when about 271 million shares will be available for trading, with another 243 million shares set to become available for trading between mid-October and mid-November." That will further depress the share... GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE
