^ Makes sense though. Everyone and their mama is familiar with Facebook, and as we all know, most people are totally unfamiliar with market trading. If Joe-schmo public could just hop onto the IPO today there would be massive movement and as soon as it started to fall people would flip out and sell. And if everyone and their mama was buying/selling there would be tons of people losing their money completely because they probably shouldn't have been jumping in in the first place, and only a few would be smart/quick enough to make a good decision either way. It's much safer to let the offering stabilize with seasoned investors even if they're the profitting or not, before the average (uninformed) public messes the whole fucking thing up.

^ What you are saying is that no one should buy stocks after IPO. Everyone seems to be looking for a quick buck. If you can't handle risk, dont invest.
- I'M not saying that! It's what's actually happening. I don't think the general public can handle the risk.monospaced

I would buy Facebook.
when apple announces closer ties with facebook with their itunes / apple tv, it would jump.

Realistically, does anyone have an ACTUAL hypothesis or reason why this IPO was SO heavilly touted as the biggest and best thing to hit wallstreet in ages and has done nothing but dropped like a weight in the ocean?
How could so many experts been so wrong - OR - is this just a bad week or something?
- I'm no expert, but I think it just launched at too high of a price. Unless something weird happens, I think in time it will gorw above IPO price, but how much more is up for debate.nikdaum
- grow above IPO price, but how much more is up for debate.nikdaum
- it'll more likely drop to real-value prices, like $15/share, firstmonospaced
