that's a great feeling. i heard a rattle from my glove box and panicked. turned out to be something i put inside it. LOL

Note: U2 Bono owns 2.3%, which will now be worth $1.5B from a $90M investment, takes money to make money....

FB is not really exploding out of the gates here...

RaceBlood · 05-18-2012, 10:52 AM

Shit, glad my sell was at 42...

This will be interesting to watch.

I didnt have much confidence in the IPO, not my style of investing, but thought it was worth a quick pop. I have had Google and Apple for over a year, and thought I was late to that game...go figure...

Mr. Nice · 05-18-2012, 11:11 AM

I stay away from the big names completely, lots of hidden gems out there. A more expensive gem that I'm predicting to jump pretty high in the short term is Gulf Keystone. A cheaper buy that I see exploding in 12-18 months is Augme Technologies. I actually just picked up more of both.

CubanJJ09 · 05-18-2012, 11:24 AM

So wtf is the deal with this stock. Wasn't it suppose to explode upwards

RaceBlood · 05-18-2012, 11:36 AM

The word was it would be a nice 20% increase, its a huge offering, demand was strong, the big institutions took large positions and sold within minutes, so now its pretty overyhyped...though they are saying there were major flaws with orders prior to opening, which delayed it 30 minutes...the long term for FB is the fact its user base on the Ipad and smartphones will 1B people...

Watch for the stock to tank six months from now when all the employees dump their big chunks of RSA right before the top tax rates go up.

gtron · 05-18-2012, 12:31 PM
