I actually found it extremely entertaining.

My personal thoughts on the situation is that a good amount of the general public is looking to get into the stock while the investor savvy people seem to think it's overvalued and are looking for a quick buck then dump it.
My completely ignorant and zero basis projection: Opens at 37.5 peaks at 40 and ends the day at 35.
Really wish i had the courage to stick with my original projection...

Well, my $33 prediction was one day too soon. Pesky underwriters.

I don't know exactly which thread to post this, but this seems to be the FB "open discussion" thread.
Is anyone else bothered by the mainstream labeling this IPO as a failure? IMHO an IPO is a failure when pps skyrockets up from your initial offering price - which equates to you leaving money at the table. It's a very simple concept, so I don't understand where the disconnect lies with the public's perception. Is it just lazy reporting? Obviously if their share price continues to drag down then that is a different story, but regardless, kudos to FB for selling high.

Everything about this IPO is awful in general (see the 10 threads here as an example) and I wish it would go away. Tech IPOs:financial/tech media::Lebron:sports media/fans. If he succeeds its because he banded together to form the B3, if he fails its because he chokes. Whichever side is more convenient. Same thing applies here (see GRPN etc for examples of the 'other side' of this story).

I completely agree.
In a perfect scenario, as a CEO, I would bring my company public, have the price tank 90% in the first month, repurchase the shares at market price, bring the company back private with a ton of free cash.

Suppose the media is looking at it from the investor's point of view? It honestly looks like it was priced about right for FB.
It will be interesting to see what Zuckerberg does with his shares moving forward. Having only sold 6% of his shares at IPO, does he sell more in the near future (and lose his 56% voting rights)? Or does he truely believe in the long term profitability of FB.
