Okay, so you got caught in another stupid mistake. I'd normally be prepared to let it go if it wasn't for the massive ahole you really are.

A pop to $45 apparently doesn't qualify as a "pop" where you live. I promise one of these days I will learn the clownland language you clowns speak down there.

I'm tired of repeating myself. Read what I posted earlier and internalize it. Unless you are an idiot of the scale of benny the clown, that should be your clue to FO.

Listen polyahole, I have better things to do with my time than watch you drool with envy and you throw your heels at me every day on here.

You were born stupid. Unfortunately I regret to inform you that you'll die that way.

The only thing you can do at this point, but I doubt you can, is try and work in not being such an ahole.  You may find a woman to take you in that way and not be as much of a burden to your mom.

closed out the small short I put in on the grey market. only made a bit of beer money as the margin requirements were a bit stupid. Going to see what happens in the next week or two then put a proper short on this dog. car crash waiting to happen imo. will be trading for a few cents in a couple of years.

If you can do basic arithmetic, it was a dog.

If you are brain dead, you shout "Go Facebook" a few dozen times.

The posts are still up, draw your own conclusions.


P.S. It took UNLIMITED bids at $38 by the underwritters to keep this dog from being a complete catastrophe today. It won't matter in the long run, the market ALWAYS wins.

Just want to put in a thank you to Menelaus
Good analysis, and will follow the advice given.
Cannot see any way for fb to grow their revenues - schools/universities/businesses are not going to be shoving additional income their way over and above what they already have. And not a trusted brand either - too many people lost their jobs already because of disclosing private activities on fb, no-one ever lost their job for googling 'my workplace sucks' from their home computer.

"The "investors" retards will pile in and the price will pop. It's the last chance for the TBTFs to generate optimism and pump the market which is on the verge of turning over, so expect ferocious pumping. Then wait a few weeks and short the living daylights out of this dog. "

Completely wrong melly. it was a complete flop, no "investors" piled in, there was no pop, it was barely propped up by MS. No furious pumping giving you WEEKS to short it.
I'll revisit in a few weeks to find out your "short" price.

Now, wait a damn second.

The only reason I didn't get the timing right (the pop I expected came at $45 but it wasn't sustained) is because I had no way of knowing that the lead underwriters (MS, JPM & GS) changed earnings estimates virtually hours before the shares floated AND SHARED THAT INFORMATION ONLY WITH SELECT CLIENTS (how this is not a securities laws violation is another story). The wind behind sustaining a pop was turned off before it even started.....in secret. Unfortunately I'm not one of those clients.

Besides, those who trade more than just bubble gum wrappers on igindex know that you couldn't short anyways even if you wanted to. No shares to borrow anywhere to be found and no options trading.

Look at the bright side, I hope the analysis posted helped some poor mug avoid getting sucked in, expecting FB to go to $100, and making a complete fool of himself……..oh, wait…...

Laugh so comical!
melly cooks up an imaginary "trip to NY" in an attempt to sit out his failed facebook call in the hope it will blow over, and presumably on his return aftertime that he played the first FB week perfectly but couldn't post about it cos he was "in NY".
but just one day in he just resist, so cooks up another story about setting up a proxy. Laugh

hahaha, you couldn't make this up.

I knew he was obsessed by the fact that first thing in the morning when he wakes up, at lunch, and when he gets home, he can't resist coming on this forum to post. I didn't think he was that obsessed that he would set up a proxy to post from his hotel room in new york though. He needs serious help.  LaughLaughLaughLaugh

The chaps I'm with are from Beaupost (Klarman is a good client of ours) They want to buy you a drink for your facebook call, it helped them unload a lot of cr@p they were holding......if I can ever get them to stop laughing.

It speaks volumes that this mug thinks that eating at a $50 a plate restaurant is expensive. I thought it would be the norm for someone who claims to have made "millions trading" these markets, not to mention making "10 years wages" virtually overnight.

I'll say it again. It's NOT what people post on here that's often the tell, it's what they don't.

I don't think you've been paying attention. The best time to buy was 7 minutes to the listing because "facebook  will hit 100$ no problems" and "facebook is a buy buy buy for investors". Where have you been FFS?

I hope you're paying attention and learning.

Here's what the last two posts *really* said.

He's angry and frustrated. He engaged in a short few minutes even though it was late in the evening where he lives. He reacts impulsively without thinking nor trying to disguise his tactics. That makes him easy prey. He is wounded and seeks revenge. He is easy to provoke and manipulate. He wishes he never made that horrid call but since he can't retract it, he tries to demean its importance. He tries to be evasive and attempts to direct attention someplace else. He is frustrated and angry that he is failing to do so.

The second post is just more of the same, more attempt at evasive action trying to pull attention away from his horrid call and an attempt to change the focus by mentioning another poster's good call.

Let me summarize. He is stupid and allows himself to be lead around by the nose like a circus bear - more like a monkey but I think you get the point. His massive ignorance makes it all so easy.

You're not stupid, nor ignorant, don't fall in the same trap.

Dear polyahole

I need your advice urgently.

I'm starting to think I made a mistake. I mortgaged the dilapidated trailer home I'm presently leaving in, sold my '75 Honda Civic, and pawned my most prized possession, my collection of comic books, to raise money to buy facebook at $38. I thought  "hitting $100 without a doubt" was the easiest and surest way to make money, even easier than "buy apple". Now the bank is calling and I have no idea what to tell them. Should I ask for extra hours at MacDonalds?

Thank you in advance for your wise and sophisticated response, especially if you manage to keep everything under a single line again and hopefully fewer than three posts.

LoveLoveLoveLove
