Interesting breakdown and explanation video report on CBS. Other related today's video reports on the right too.

Not likely.

It does not matter what the price was set at. No one had to buy it. In fact many lucky people were precluded from buying the IPO.

This is very weak! Lefty label is deserving of more substantive association.

Individuals operate in a self destructive manner when they attempt to rig the system in their favor, manipulate others, and take on more risk than most others would find acceptable with their self destructive behavior.
Anyone can lose site of operating in their own self interest and succumb to greed. This is not behavior that is exclusive to the left or right. It may very well be operative in the unfolding story of the Facebook IPO, and as such should be instructive about the failures of individuals, not the indictment of an economic system.

Beautifully stated Whell.

It stands to reason that these high-tech innovators are liberals. Nearly all are, as are the hotbeds of high-tech innovation (Cambridge, MA; Silicon Valley, CA; and Seattle, WA). You don't see a spate of high tech innovation coming out of Mississippi.

IMHO, whoever invented the koozie has done far more to benefit mankind than these two jerkoffs who came up with Facebook.
