Maybe we could take up a donation and help the poor kid out

Yeah thats not kill a person in front of witnesses and get away with it money.

I said it on the article in the business tab this morning but the only people who are losing in this IPO (besides retail investors who deserve to lose because they're stupid if they bought into this) are the FB employees whose stock is vested.

They can't sell for a period of time ( I assume somewhere around 180 days) and are just watching their hypothetical riches dwindle in front of their eyes

Facebook is at $34 not $40.

SmackLT: I think it closed over $40 on Friday, but honestly with that much money from stock, Zuckerberg would probably have a lot of trouble spending all of it in this lifetime. Right now the graphic says a bit over $26 billion. That's not just "f*ck you" money, that's "buy and island and never talk to anybody again" money

It closed at $38.32, artificially high.

I'm wondering if FB knew the future of the market, the coming collapse and decided to bailout his investors (and himself).

oh...I thought it was about his new wife on a shopping spree...

Oh that poor, poor man. If I wasn't so hard to self motivate, I would try and start a telethon for him.

They're panicking, they're thinking I'm not gonna have enough money to buy my kids the GI Joe with the kung fu grip.

I'd wait till it gets under 30, then I'd buy it.

P.S. Interactive doesn't mean what I think subby thinks it means.

LeroyBourne: I clicked in at 38 bucks a share, and within seconds it dropped to 34 a share. I don't know a whole lot about the market, but I think that's bad.

Close it and reopen; it's magically back to $38 again. I don't know a whole lot about web page design, but I think that's bad.

I heard he wants to acquire Blingee for any amount they name.

Meanwhile, every other large and small cap tech stock is up like 2-3%.

vmw, you sexy sexy beast, you.

How does linkedin have a PE of OVER 600?

Once the price support from the underwriters is done, I think the price will drop to the teens, where it will stay put for a while. $38 a share is insanely high for an IPO, and Facebook's P/E ratio is utterly ludicrous. The price will correct itself in time.

Man, whoever Geocitied that up has mad skills..

styckx: P.S. Interactive doesn't mean what I think subby thinks it means.

True. Interactive would have a button or a slider that you could use to cause Zuckerberg to lose money.

Actually, I think I just came up with a Facebook-killer. Anybody want to fund my Kickstarter?

It's not real money. What happens if he tries to sell it all? The price plummets, while he's selling it. He wouldn't even be able to unload it all, once available buyers dried up. He'd end up with only fark you money. (And it would be a real f*ck you, but only to the rest of the shareholders left holding the bag.)

Hm, page doesn't work for me. At least I see a graphic at the top, and a comment that says "you have to click on it to see the rest of infographic" but clicking on it goes to an empty page.

I see $40.11 at the time of this post. ....................................................................^

Aw thanks, that was a hotwing original. That site is vastly more entertaining the facebook has ever been, now that I think about it.

Maybe at the end of the day, but right now, all that means is that it has plenty of time to climb back up.

Zuckerberg's net worth may be dropping, but he already cashed out several billion with the IPO. He's not losing any "money" per se.

Now reads $34.75 after I clicked on "enlarge". Thing was not updating at all. Even with page reloads. Amazing.

Where is the Farker who was going to put 25k of his kids college fund into FB.
I hope he didn't do it.

styckx: P.S. Interactive doesn't mean what I think subby thinks it means.

Yeah, I think subby meant 'real time'. It's definitely interesting to watch though.

I am going to stick with this version of real time updates Link

Well considering he didn't really have the money in the first place as it was just speculative worth, I would say that the only thing he is losing is his mind because he is a freaking BILLIONAIRE AND HE IS IN HIS GODDAMN TWENTIES. FARK YOU ZUCKERBERG

That's genetically engineer a new species of primate just to have sex with it kind of money.

That's just fine with me as long as you promise I never have to see his farkin' 1% face again.
SO sick and tired of that little squirrely a$$hole whining and simpering about anything and everything.
If we were neighbors I'd have called five-oh on him already and fragged his pool just for fun.

have already HAD nouveau riche neighbors wouldn't care for more thankyouverymuch -1 would not again

nickerj1: How does linkedin have a PE of OVER 600?

Foolish optimism?

Enhance!

the stock channels are calling 'em "Faceplant". GM didn't help. i doubt he'll end up like Zoidberg, but if they can destroy Friendster, Xanga & MySpace then Facebook can be destroyed, too. All it boils down to is imposing AOL on the Interwebs....

That's what I'm thinking. There are too many signs pointing to a poor trading future for Facebook. The only reason I can think of for FB to have let things start this poorly is if they did it on purpose, but even then, I'm not sure why.

FB has investors, most who I'm sure want their money back ASAP ...considering the market and speed of Intenet companies. The market that FB has, at the moment, is huge and growing. What we know is that these Internet companies can be gone wtihin a year or two if a competitor can offer more with less hassle.

Think of FB as a prom date coming down the stairs. Anticipating is high, attention is present and fixed and her makeup is perfect and best of all - there's no competition. That is until you get to the dance where she looks fat in dress next to her friends and your friends are mocking you for being with her.

I could be wrong, but FB has less buying power today than it did before. Could FB swallow LinkedIn or other startups that are offering a different service?

I didn't buy FB. Google is making money and that investment makes sense, as they target ads. No one goes to FB to shop. Augmenting their ad's with Likes and other social ideas is their only hope.

GOOG makes money because people are searching and want to be suggested information.
FB is a blogging aggregate.

I've been thinking of this too. Just like all of my coworkers who bought the stock and yet still seem optimistic.

Why in the hell would anyone buy FB, they don't even pay dividends.
Invest in the "dogs of the Dow" and let it ride for the long run.
