<p>Not yet. ;). 442 more points down…and not good to close near the low, though admittedly, a bounce would not be a surprise…</p>

<p>“Well…we are oversold” Why? because the rsi is at 25 indicating an oversold position? Even if it is, the market can remain “irrational” longer than most can hold onto their positions.</p>
<p>Yeah…we can be oversold for awhile…</p>
<p>And we can get more oversold.</p>

<p>Gotta be wary when the initial investors are selling like this on the IPO. Means they think it’s going down, not up.</p>
<p>I think tomorrow I may start speculating by buying some aapl calls.</p>

Interesting market for the FB IPO!
This selling on the offering is somewhat to be expected. The question is whether these owners of FB shares are selling the maximum they are allowed to on the IPO… If so, then it is DEFINITELY worrying. Again, though, if they are left with pretty substantial positions, then they will still have a real stake in the company after it goes public.
I have not read the prospectus to see what their starting and ending positions for the various shareholders are, or what the rules are for insider selling. </p>
<p>I am not a lover of FB conceptually du tout. I do not care if it flops from here, frankly. Yes, I am a dinosaur.
I also am not convinced that the members of FB are going to tolerate the violations of privacy that successful ad sales would seem to require.
One of my D’s has dropped off FB… The other seems a bit less involved, more into twitter and all the forms of IM’g these days.
Internet, email, online shopping, online researching, special interest forums and the like keep me satisfied.</p>
<p>Never have had a FB account, don’t see the point…reconnecting with people i haven’t spoke with in years? No thanks…i do think it will be a successful IPO…i read an interesting post that Apple is being sold for purchases of FB…</p>
<p>^^that’s a theory that some are saying including priceline, google and a few others since april. We’ll see tomorrow how true that is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It should be interesting. You raise interesting points.</p>
<p>I’m not “in” for it. I missed the tech boom altogether cuz I think they are always overpriced on the sell. After that, they just become another stock.</p>
<p>I wish I’d bought starbucks a long time ago, though. It’s an heirloom stock, like Cocacola or McDonald’s. Plus it’s a drug. Not bad.</p>
<p>Good luck to anybody in the IPO.</p>
<p>Japan, Australia,Hong Kong ,and China all declining around 2% ±… Can FB save the day tommorrow?</p>
<p>What’s up with Buffett buying newspapers? I thought he was supposed to be a smart guy. Newspapers will be history soon.</p>
<p>Print is dead.</p>
<p>Well…I don’t know how many shares of Facebook I am going to get on the IPO.</p>
<p>If I don’t get much…that is a positive sign.</p>
<p>On the market note…my selfish self… I hope we crash…</p>
<p>But then I have my parents…and my aunt and uncle…and a market crash probably wouldn’t be too good for them.</p>
<p>Screw it…they are old. I hope we crash. :)</p>
<p>I am less long than I thought I was. ;)</p>
<p>my broker was able to snag 200 fb shares for me. hope it pops![ will make up for aapl dropping in the last month… those pushing short positions **** me off.]</p>
<p>I doubt I’ll get the 100 shares in fb that I put in for since I put in a limit order at 36 and supposedly its going to go at 38. I also think that I would have to hold onto it for 30 days - by that time it’ll be junk so from my standpoint it isn’t worth it.</p>
<p>:). </p>
<p>Good luck, menloparkmom.</p>
<p>You are out, doct.</p>
<p>How about selling a naked put on aapl? The Jan 2014 aapl put with a strike of 520 is selling for about $106. That’s over ten thousand dollars per put. Free money if aapl stays above 520 for a year and a half.</p>
<p>Except for one thing - according to some, aapl will only be a carcass left to rot in the sun by the likes of microsoft and rimm.</p>
