FB appears to be a gigantic data mining operation. Not much more than that?

Well you know what they say, right?

If you are not paying for it, you are the product.

Institutional and hedge funds are doing the bulk of shorting. I still get restrictions with IB.

some here are institutions in their own right, and some should be institutionalized.

There will certainly be a few class action suits popping up in the next few weeks for non-disclosure of the numbers change during the road show.

Lol!

And at 32.19 all I can say is ouch!

What a "well managed" fight book, gossip book, cheating-on-spouse book, etc. Lol!

Coupled by the fact that there really are no plans going forward to stay competitive, nasdaq's screwing up fills, and the FACT that Facebook is a slow sinking ship, looks like the devil's playground may finally go away where it belongs.

Note: I am sorry some guys here bought the ignorant thing. I'm not poking fun at their now 16% + losses. I'm just no fan of what Jay Lenno even pointed out is "the biggest waste of time on Earth."
