If Facebook is making $5 billion dollars per year and it's a growth company, then why one would give up complete control from such a cash machine and be bothered and waste a lot time with shareholders, and all kinds of government regulation regarding public companies?

A lot of people that I know from my circle of friends at Facebook, are spending less, and less time at Facebook, and some people started checking their wall on Facebook only a few times a week, and they are spending a lot less time on Facebook than they used to.

The Facebook guys decided to go public, before the numbers start to decline very fast as the global economic environment deteriorate as we descend into the second leg of the first great depression of the 21st century.

Just keep in mind the guys at Facebook and also from âGoldman Sachs the Pillage Peopleâ are glad that there are so many suckers out there to hold the bag as these guys cash out and make a killing at your expense.

You seem to be eager to buy some Facebook stock â then decide how much money you are willing to lose with this Facebook IPO and place a stop-loss order for that amount such as 10, 20, or 50 percent.

For example a stop-loss order for 10% below the price you paid for the stock will limit your loss to 10%. This strategy allows investors to determine their loss limit in advance.

Then in the future you can tell your friends a good story regarding how much money you lost by gambling in the Facebook IPO.

The guys at Facebook and also from âGoldman Sachs the Pillage Peopleâ are glad that the world are full of suckers and fools for them to take them for a ride.

The corporate world is realizing that most people who connect to Facebook are not interested on their adds â most people just want to see pictures of their relatives and friends, and the comments regarding these pictures, or press the like bottom to show that you like some kind video that you posted on Facebook about a news event, or about some music group.

General Motors just announced that they are stopping advertising on Facebook, and very soon many other major corporations are also going to come to the same conclusion regarding their scarce and diminishing advertising dollars in the coming years.

Please, let me know how much money you lost with the Facebook IPO fiasco.

Yesterday on CNBC Squawk box one of the analysts said the following regarding the Facebook IPO:

"The current 900 million Facebook accounts, which is 51 percent of the world's internet world today, but they can't get into China. At least not yet, and without access to China, without that growth how Facebook will be able to grow at all?"

The good news is that the smart money increased the number of shares that they are making available to the suckers.

The smart money is unloading and cashing out thanks to the fools and suckers of the world.

Peilthetraveler have fun tomorrow when you are buying some of the FB hype, and they take you for a ride.

I hope you will enjoy the ride as you are being screwed.

So my Facebook-a-holic wife wanted to know if we're buying Facebook and she was all gung-ho until I explained to her what PE & PSR ratio's were ...

PE 100:1 ? at the open ... at the close ? lol
PSR 25:1 ? at the open ... at the close ? lol

What can go wrong ... lol

I hope it opens at 50 and goes to 100 tomorrow ... then there will be a huge sucking sound and that will be money coming out of AAPL and the QQQ. Imagine if everyone sells 5% of their AAPL to buy FB ... now that would be glorious !

Now if they'd just trade options on FB tomorrow !!!

Kudos to FB though for getting every dollar they can out of the market, and only letting go of 18% ? of the float !

Just another con from Wall street thieves robbing pension funds AUM.

Have they finalized the time it will start trading? I read "around 11:00" but nothing set for sure. When will Nasdaq announce the time FB starts trading?
