You could bring it to BE maybe??? Your choice?

Some big hitters late in the session seeing value in FB? Now who could that possibly be?

Hold steady as FB decline will continue soon enough as earnings compared to price is off the richter scale.

Such an over rated hyped up stock. Even at $30. I'm not sure it will even stop at $20 unless they can show some real business value and earnings potential.

If FB don't leverage up by hooking up with some real businesses like perhaps universities or academic institutions then it's going to be much ado about nothing.


I reckon every investor, his dog and black and white cat will be shorting FB. Budgies and parrots even...


Feels like free money to me...
I always think alarm bells should ring when it looks too easy.

Certainly felt like it was free money

I reckon there is big money crying it's eyes out. Will they be able to halt the rot?

It's all a game to the big boys. I also believe as it not their money they can be as free and lazy with it as they like.

However, I'm now looking at the value of other high tech similar stocks and wondering is Google, Amazon and eBay really worth that much?

Facebook’s Sale

At least 13 IPOs have been withdrawn or postponed globally since Facebook’s May 17 offering, slowing a market for deals that’s struggled to keep momentum as U.S. stock values have failed to recover to levels before the financial crisis. There have been 192 IPOs globally since the beginning of April, putting this quarter on pace to be the slowest since 177 initial offers were completed in the three months through September 2009, Bloomberg data show.

Facebook completed the biggest technology IPO on record just as offerings were drying up, and has since lost more than $20 billion in market value. No other companies have completed or set pricing terms for U.S. IPOs since the Menlo Park, California-based social-networking company raised $16 billion.

I could be wrong too

I think there must be SO many people shorting this now that at some point they're going to have to cover their positions, and there won't be enough stock available, so the price will go up and up. I would almost buy it off the back of this evening's pop up. But haven't got the guts.
