Me: "Do you guys install 35% tint?"
Them: "No we only stock 20%, 35% is useless"
Me: "But 35% is the darkest you can legal have installed on your car?"
Them: "We have installed it on everyone's car and they haven't been pulled over"
Me: "But its illegal"
Them: "Its fine"

They've run out of growth opportunities, once they finish selling every single one of you FB users biodata they will pretty much be cashed out. The price structure on the IPO was a money printing exercise, and by the time it hit open market the smart money was out, or cashing out.

Dear Potential Investor,

For years, you've wasted your time on Facebook. Now here’s your chance to waste your money on it, too. Tomorrow is Facebook’s IPO, and I know what some of you are thinking. How will Facebook be any different from the dot-com bubble of the early 2000’s?

For one thing, those bad dot-com stocks were all speculation and hype, and weren’t based on real businesses. Facebook, on the other hand, is based on a solid foundation of angry birds and imaginary sheep. Second, Facebook is the most successful social network in the world, enabling millions to share information of no interest with people they barely know.

Third, every time someone clicks on a Facebook ad, Facebook makes money. And while no one has ever done this on purpose, millions have done it by mistake while drunk. We totally stole this idea from iTunes.

Finally, if you invest in Facebook, you’ll be far from alone. As a result of using Facebook for the past few years, over 900 million people in the world have suffered mild to moderate brain damage, impairing their ability to make reasoned judgments. These will be your fellow Facebook investors.

With your help, if all goes as planned tomorrow, Facebook’s IPO will net $100 billion. To put that number in context, it would take JP Morgan four or five trades to lose that much money.

One last thing: what will, I, Mark Zuckerberg, do with the $18 billion I’m expected to earn from Facebook’s IPO? Well, I’m considering buying Greece, but that would still leave me with $18 billion. LOL.

Friend me,

Mark

Do you want decent or cheap?

[B4TT]

Hahahaha I like that!

Certianly not an IPO I would have been interested in.

It may go ok for a while.. I just don't see it really as a long term hold unless they diversify their business bigtime.

GIO Joe Special Edition.

They nearly went neg in the first day of trading, Josh.

ALSO, the only reason the stock stayed positive is because someone had 10MM shares on the bid. Kept it afloat.

haha I read that! someone creating a support, I reckon if the price got close the order may have been pulled.

I see price manipulation pretty often, someone will put a buy order in for a large volume over the ask price to try and create a bit of excitement and get the little guys (only works if lots of them do it) worked up to buy higher... a lot of said buyers don't realise that it is a fake buy order and the entity (they have bots doing this now) has a significantly larger holding that they will fill the sell side with in packets once the price rises... the high buy order usually gets pulled right before open.. some times works sometimes doesn't.. mainly works with those concerned with market depth over chartists.

Basically the government has completely screwed the 'Mum & Dad' investors AGAIN - it's a LOT like the Telstra float as far as I can see.

by requiring investors to be accredited to participate in the pre-IPO secondary market, the government has ensured joe public will only suffer marginal returns or, more likely, big losses. by trying to "protect", the game has been more rigged than before.
