Look at the time stamp dumbass. It didnt close on the 12th at $27.27
After market has nothing to do with it.

They can scream, yell and sue all they want. It does not matter. If a company was controlled by public opinion, it would quickly fail.
Shareholders are essentially suing because they expected to make boat load of money off the IPO pop. They didnt get it. They are looking for excuse to make that money. Morgan Stanley did their job of valuing company to its fullest by giving $38 per share to Facebook.
Not sure if you guys understand how IPO works.
- And do you understand that shareholders buy shares to make money? "Looking for an excuse..."?Josev

Howe do investors think FB can make more money then it already has with banner advertisements. Do they think FB is google? What the fuck does Zuck know about stocks, investing etc?

Better way of looking at is.. if you bought 1000 shares at $25 when it bottom, you are up $6000

@2002 I wasn't even addressing the shareholders suing over the IPO. I understand perfectly how the IPO works and Mark's percentage of ownership. What I'm trying to say is that, now that they're public, the general public will be focusing on their revenue. No, a company isn't controlled by public opinion, but buying and selling of a stock often is. You're also right about shareholders looking for an excuse to make money, and those very shareholders will expect Facebook to monetize further. Whether they do or not is, as you pointed out, Zuck's decision ultimately, I personally think the pressure from public will weigh heavy on the decisions made moving forward. Especially with the stock price at the mercy of investors.

Facebook user base growth will come to a grinding halt this year.
And so with a user base of 845 million people, they will finally have to actually monetize that user base.I believe that for the immediate future, they'll be able to continue to swindle advertisers and media companies desperate to stay afloat - thanks to all the uber hype. But once the reality comes out that Facebook hasn't actually helped most of the advertisers' bottom line, the shit will hit the fan.
