Hold up a bit more to buy.

There's a new round of stockholders (some early employees) who will be allowed to sell, starting in November.

If ever a company needed to beat the earnings estimates, FB in October is the one. I expect maximum accounting shenanigans.

Facebook will go the way of myspace in another year or two, no one will remember it. I dont believe for one minute the number of users they say they have or the revenues they claim to have. Wait about a year or two ...or maybe less and you will see FB on the pink sheets if even still on the market at all. It's a failed business model with a clown running it.

I opened one recently to see what happened to all my college FSAE pals, where they ended up, etc.

It seems a bit odd, laying your life out there for anyone to view (not everyone elects to keep their info private), having every comment and picture broadcasted to your own personal "network".
