I was right

It's expected to continue dropping by some analysts and is expected to rise higher than it originally was by others. I'm not sure if you're serious - do you honestly think this could be the beginning of the end of Facebook lmao?

Umm yes, why wouldn't I be serious? You act as if FB will live on forever, elaborate.
 
I'm not sure how large your knowledge on stocks and public trading is, (what they're doing atm) so it's hard to elaborate. On the first day of the public trading venture they're on now they sold for more than their already overpriced stock price. It's not Facebook doing anything wrong it's just a broken IPO that needs repairing. You act shocked that one could think Facebook will last forever, but it's more shocking that you think stocks will continue rising forever.

That's an ignorant comment, look at Myspace, larger than FB was when it was out in terms of market share, and look at it now. Don't comment if you don't even understand the topic...
 

Lol, don't make me laugh. You act as if you're an economics expert, when it's clear you lack knowledge as well, we all do. So don't attempt to patronise me. And umm, less than a week after going public their stocks drop, that's not a broken IPO, that's them being extremely overpriced and people realising that FB isn't as great as it used to be.

Nah, what's more shocking are your speculations that you think I expect stocks to continue rising forever, and FYI, shareholders expect stocks to rise, or they sell. L2eco. (I'm sorry though, that had to be in there. )

Facebook will last as long as there is internet. The only other site that could potentially surpass it, if it already hasn't done so, is Twitter. Prime example was Google+. Everyone thought it would be the next best thing and take over Facebook. Where is it now?
 

Everyone? Lol no, I don't know where that's coming from... A majority expected Google+ to be shit, and it was.
 
^ lol.

And to add on to my recent posts, I've only been talking from my own perspective and it seems many financial analysts and journalists agree with my view on this.

"Yes, I realize that ‘successful’ initial public offerings are supposed to yield a handsome first-day pop for those lucky enough to obtain shares at the offering price. That pop is often explained as the return for the risk taken on by providing the funds for the IPO. But if that’s true, then part of that risk is the potential for the very scenario just witnessed…that the offering price wasn’t the ‘right’ one for whatever number of reasons."

There are many more articles from reputable sources which I can quote from, but I've got some studies to do.
 

This makes me laugh. I studied economics for three years and got a distinction. My post was no way patronising, I genuinely had no idea if you knew what you were talking about or were posting bs. From the sounds of the latter in the post, it's the bs. Do you even know what an IPO is? If so, how in gods name is it not broken lmao?

I never said that YOU think stock prices will continue to rise, I said it's crazy people thinking that. It won't, naturally they fall. Google's fell but then it risen higher than ever. This is why it's called investment, not "MAKE MONEY EASY WOO". I'm sorry but you seem kind of noobish (gaming word for gaming forum) in this debate, your hatred for Facebook (I hate it too) is clouding your judgement, or at least interfering with it.

Let me reword that. Google hyped it to be the next best thing.

Also, stop acting like your at the top of world. There is a thing between debating and arguing. I wouldn't want to talk to someone who constantly calling me ignorant.

"OMG, someone disagrees with my opinion, must be BS!"

I don't like the word broken, I'd rather choose my words wisely and say it's fucked. And quite clearly I know what an IPO is, no shit? Stocks are never broken, it's just how business works, they rise, they fall. How can an IPO at $100B drop after less than a week. It's the biggest IPO to date, and you're telling me they weren't expecting rising shares, possibly doubled at the valued price. They weren't expecting a drop, no one does. IPOs dont come out so they can drop by nearly 20%, they are released so everyone wants to purchase them and ^ the stock price. You don't need an Economics diploma/degree to know how things work.


Wrong again, they'll fall a bit, rise, fall again, rise, fall again, rise, usually when stocks begin to stabilise, not when they start public trading, and not when a company the size of FB starts trading publicly.

I seem kinda noobish, then I'm glad, since it seems a majority of financial analysts (as I previously said) agree with me. But anyways, back on topic, you think that it's natural for an IPO valued at 100B to drop it's shares by nearly 20% in less than a week, when usually it's meant to maintain itself or rise... Just admit you're wrong and agree that this IPO was worth so much less.
 

How am I acting like I'm at the top of the world?
 

You're right, how dare I call someone ignorant who called me dumb... Oh wait.

Constantly? LOL, I said ignorant once and it was reply to being called dumb. Don't get your panties in a twist.

Honestly, if you weren't the owner here, people would hate the way you act so condescending when someone posts their opinion then your response with "Lol, your dumb". You can respond with what you want, I am not really going to response, but that is what I got from all your response.
