Facebook Shares Fall Below IPO Price: Who's to blame?

I read somewhere there is a joined effort, for 10's of thousand will be deleting their accounts on facebook at the end of the year (Dec.) thousands are already leaving and I will to..

Hype? Don't mind if I have a good chuckle do you!

Everybody need to take responsibility for their failure and Facebook is no exception. I also blame the Media Analysts and pundits for washing mouth over it and setting too high a standard for it's first shot(:

lol...glad i did not buy any

Not worth the price.

and the 1,000,000,000 people on Facebook for selling our souls.

Before you begin to laugh or cheer for this predictable event, consider that you have probably lost some money in this Monopoly game. Only 20% of the authorized shares were "put into play", nearly all were "reserved" for the trading desks of the Reagan Banks and Wall Street brokerages. They used your money, your 401k, retirement funds, your mutual funds, to buy this stock from the underwriting banks and brokers. Now, the banks and brokers had your money, extracted their large fees, then gave the founding boys their $Billions and left a little for the corporation. You then had the risk of the shares falling in value. Had the share gone up quickly, the underwriters would have sold some of the shares authorized to increase their profits and keep the greater risk on your funds.

So, this is how it works in such markets. You have lost something if you were "in the game" through your "investments", which are controlled by those controlled by the banks and brokers. Welcome to America, home of the scams, pillage, plunder and white collar criminals that can play with your money and leave you with the risks they don't need to take s they can live well on the "fees", "commissions" and "bonuses" as well as their options to trade the remaining 80% of the stock to you without your even knowing it.

Blame?

Why must blame be assigned for this?

I see the righties here always think the Media did it. Now it's even the Media's fault when a stock doesn't perform well. For people who you deem so incredibly incompetent, they sure do control lots of things. Certainly, the stock evaluation couldn't possibly have ANYTHING to do with the fact that, for such a massive IPO, Facebook hasn't really figured out any formula to adequately convert eyeballs on their pages into profits.

Aaaaaaha ha ha ha ha ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah oooooooaaaaaaahahaha ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah oo o oops ! I think I farted aaaah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah..........

LOL...

Idiots who think this company is more than a pasing fad.

NEVER OVER PROMISE AND UNDER DELIVER

President Obama blames Bush! Nancy Grace blames Casey Anthony. Al Sharpton blames George Zimmerman. Kanye West blames Taylor Swift. Mark Zuckerburg blames his new wife. Sandra Flouke blaimes Rush Limbaugh. VP Joe Biden blames VP Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney is oiling his shotgun! LOL !

LMAO....

Bush, don't forget Bush.

I like FB but it'll go the way of My Space when a new social outlet comes along

It's all MSM and the 99%ers trying to destroy capitalizm

This is what it was all about, get in make a killing, get out. Natural response of most participants is to put in an investment plan but some, usually with large sums, and bail for short term. Often this locks the masses investors in for the long to equalize their position. Its a game for some, including the owners. Also the anticipated full anticipated value was the offering on a speculative basis.

In looking at the responses, I just knew some jack-off would blame it on Obama. There is no end to some people's idiocy and hatred.

FB is in no way Googke or Appke and stupid people who couldn't see that hyped and suckered people. People forget that it took Apple years of product adjustment to find its market. FB may or may not be a long term success. It has to find a way to create an income streaming like any business. It Tessy doesn't have one.now as level-headed people pointed out last week.

Obama and the economy.
People don't have "spare cash" to invest right now, thanks.

This is looking like the beginnings of another dotcom type fiasco.

Facebook knew that they where much to high on the outtake, they should have opened at $28.00/share, but greed is there middle name. For NASDAQ to step up and take the blame is admierable but just think who benifited the most! Oh well maybe I'm wrong but smelling a skunk in the wood pile I avoided the sheep shearing.

All I seen on TV is why Facebook would not be as good as.... The originator give up his citizenship because...ETC. How about the media reporting the news instead of trying to create it.

This one was easy to answer.

GM for saying it's advertising was ineffective on FB.

The IPO was to high IMHO.

STOOPID Timeline everyone hates and they won't get rid of... for 1 thing... personally I doubt Facebook will last 5 years... it's become a bloated and too commercial... someone will figure out a better way... Google + maybe, or some other 20 year old kid with a better idea.

Fadebook it was report.... bark

These industry folks know there are many suckers out there who love to be the first to buy these IPO's, even if they lose a bunch of $$$$$.

I'd say "Whoever Over-Valued It."

It is no ones "fault" and no one is to blame. Most IPO's open with hype at an established price. It is not unusual to see the price drop following the initial, set IPO value and then find it's own market stabilized price based on investor determined values. The real question is, what will that value finally be and when will it be reached. Personally, I am watching it to see if it might be worth putting a few bucks in to it.

I mostly agree. I don't blame anyone. Facebook stock sold on second market for years.

Why Fef, are you toying with the idea of going public? ;-)

The fundamentals didn't really support the share price. Facebook was over-hyped.

Castles in the air.

I am not real sure where the value is in this company. They are not a great site, they advertise way too much and the glitches are legendary. But looking at Google which is also a company I thought the FB IPO would bounce well and it surprised me that it didn't. Perhaps it would have done better in a bit of a stronger economy. But to me this had nothing to do with the company itself needing funds it was all about making money on the shares. They are not trying to expand or use the capital for any productive process so why should I support their greed?

And the dumb asses who bought facebook stock. Enjoy that 2007 flashback. Meanwhile, any analyst worth his salt will tell you, when a company maxes out it's revenue stream before going public, you do not buy their stock.

The jealous apposing web sites that are against FB and the Media..

I think most websites supported Facebook. We want to see a tech boom.

So I guess the answer would be the Media..
