re: How's the Facebook stock doing?

Eh, my first ventures onto this board labeled me as an Apple fan boy and a general dumbass as it pertains to the general market. While I own the latter and it is well deserved, I don't deserve the former.

My initial posts on this board with regards to Apple were well thought out, informed and I kinda predicted alot of what has happened. I'm labeled an idiot while the very guys that argued against me with laughable failure prance across the Money Board on their gilded steeds.

It's horseshite.

Listen to my insight or don't. I really don't care. What I do care about is some arse like KFizzle (for example) dropping in for a post playing on my bad rep cracking on me when he spent 3 pages telling me how the iPad was going to fail.

Us & them?
Them & us?

Sorry, that is not the way it works.

It's Buyer and Seller.

Two observations:
First, your assumption appears to be all "initial investors" were sellers. Doubt it.
Second, if the counterparty in the arrangement is "public", it participates of its own volition. If counterparty risk goes unassessed and therefore underestimated, who is to blame for that?

Yes there were NASDAQ issues leading possibly to unfair action, but that is not what you're addressing.

Grabbing the Facebook IPO at opening asking, especially after the GM announcement, is something any member of the "public" could have assessed as risky. If they didn't, they should have. It is what it is.

I'm thinking about strengthing my position with FB I just don't know where. Maybe somewhere around $22 or $24.

Congrats on successfully picking apple stock to do well, you are a tech stock genius! Is this the credit you've been waiting on?

Looking at it now this seems a bit silly, but between this board and especially the OT, the vast majority of posters predict every new apple product will flop. According to a few posters, the original iPad was guaranteed to flop, and to flop hard. It was only the "idiots, appletards and fanbois" who said it would be a success.

God, here we go.

I thought we were kinda past this.

My thoughts on tech are well informed and you'd do better to listen to me rather than make fun of me.

I thought I'd shaken my undeserved status as Apple fan boy.

I earned it with almost 3 year ago with magnificent, informed analysis that had the few of you that like to give me shite had listened to, you'd have a yacht called "Scoop." I didn't say I like Apple and it's awesome. I laid out what was about to happen and why. It happened.

Search the thread. It's called "Buying apple stock tomorrow."

I put great effort into keeping up with tech in general. When I contribute, it's not nonsense.

I hate doing this. I thought I was kind of respected a little bit here now on tech stuff after catching hell forever. Again, I can always copy and paste from past threads for any of the usual suspects that want to crack on me.

So you know the tech market i'll give you that, i guees. However, you knowing tech and then giving an opinion based on the technical support of a brand new company are two totally seperate things.

I'd love to hear your opinion on Facebook as a company but save the technicals for the experts.

Remind me again? When was the last IPO that didn't tank right out the gate??
