    Some on this forum actually.

    And now comes some news about the Facebook (FB) IPO that buyers deserve to be outraged about.
    Reuters' Alistair Barr is reporting that Facebook's lead underwriters, Morgan Stanley (MS), JP Morgan (JPM), and Goldman Sachs (GS) all cut their earnings forecasts for the company in the middle of the IPO roadshow.


    Im reading on various forum people have lost a average of around $5,000 to $10,000 on this bullshit.

    Nobody told me to bet on the Cubs either.

    You're a moron if you think it's anyone's fault but the individual investor.

    Mr. Romney is hoping his message of lower taxes, less regulation and an emphatic denunciation of Mr. Obama’s economic record is in sync with voters whose local economy is better than the nation’s but still struggling. Aides have privately identified it as potentially crucial to victory in a close election, and a potent symbolic win.



    You're kidding me right?

    The market cap for this stock is closer to $20 billion than $100 billion. And even this may not be sustainable. Bankers overhyped the ipo.

    People still been waiting 10+ years for NasDaq to get back to 5000 and DJIA to get back to 14000.

    We only have one life time.

    Plus by the time it gets back if it gets back it will need to go 3-4 times higher to compensate for the massive inflation.

    Investing in the market these days is for losers that want to get hurt bad.

    Raped the average investor?

    The average investor didn't buy Facebook stock. The average investor understands the a vast majority of IPO's stock prices fall back below opening prices and are waiting for the stock price to correct. The average investor saw that the stock was over valued by a good $10.

    The only people who bought Facebook stock at opening were idiots who saw dollar signs and have no common sense.
