    I deleted this bookmark for almost two years, it was a healthy move, I do miss The Mooks of the investing community.

    BTW, I was on the desk during AMER as well as NSCP IPO's back when I was a young lunch clerk. We hit/took stocks with telephones with greater success than FB.

    maybe a good trade, but it is still non-shortable.

    only way to ride it down now is to bet against other social media shares, but some might already be oversold and depressed due to FB underwriters hedging their $38 support on Friday.

    Short squeeze anybody.

  5. I have to say that anyone who bought Face Book deserves to lose and lose big. They should have just made the IPO 10 trillion. People probably would have still bought in to it.

  6. Feel free to leave at any time. No one is forcing you to stay here.

  8. By the time it's shortable it will be <$18. A short squeeze setup then might be doable but any rally is unlikely to be sustainable; it will take too long to indicate a reasonable P/E.

    Over at cnbc are saying it will reach $22 so I am guessing FB will settle around $23-$24

  10. Nobody is able to short any size and the synthetics are well under 20k contracts in the options. I don't really follow the logic that "hedge funds" are pounding some obvious edge here. If anything you'd have to be nuts to short it at this level for fear of some sort of syndicate bid.

    The vast majority of sellers are those who were f*cked on the IPO and therefore the weak hands will be gone soon. I bet we close over $31 by Monday.

    I can understand it if it were near to the release of the lock-up (date), but those horses are out of the barn.

    So I assume you're short from 28.80 here? Adding?
